The hack took out some forums, from what I can tell, Creation vs Evolution, Constitutional Law and Economics. Should these be reinstated?

Looks like we were hit pretty good. I guess we will just have to be patient and hope as much can be brought back as possible. The RHQ seems to be out, or for whatever reason I am no longer able to gain access.

Should be all set now. Yeah, I can access it. Unfortunately it looks like the hacker destroyed all of the data. It says there are no posts in this forum.

thanks for opening it back up btw :tu:

Well technically he "cracked" the site and it really just boils down to being extremely bored.

Well I'm not going into details, but however a site is broken in to, it is always considered "cracking."

Well of course we will do everything we can to bring justice to the perp. The only information I will give you is that it was a banned member. Other than that, just know that it's being taken care of.

People that do this need to be punished. severely. I agree!

I hope they have reported it to fbi. When I came to PC, around 3 something or 4 something this morning, this hacker or cracker had whittled the site down to only conspiracy forum and one new one named something like "this is what happens to people that ban me."

I think FTCE was the only poster to have posted something to them which was a the smiley that is mooning. I started a thread to tell the hacker he was lame and has accomplished nothing but is probably gonna get a felony charge. When i hit submit it froze my computer and right before I disconnected from Internet I caught a glimpse of my full name on the screen... so hacker probably has all our names and addresses and ip's.

I'm not really worried about that, but i do think it is probably a felony and should be charged.
