So apparently a hacker exploited a security hole in the host company's servers, and all the hosted sites got nuked. Including ours. However, due to the diligence of Ben (Xano) and our backups, we are, well... back up! Can't keep a good thing down lol.

We were both grateful to see that a lot of you were concerned about things via Facebook, and we're glad to keep things going :)

Word, awesome in keeping backups I don't know how many times I tell people how crucial back ups are with important data.

Most amusing is Hajis can't spell for shit. Let me know if you want to unleash the Shark.808 virus (updated and waiting) on them. Fuckers will wish they died at birth.

Release the Kraken!

I tried to get on throughout the weekend, and am always concerned when these things happen, but not everyone has Facebook, like myself. Even though I don't post up near as much as I use to, I do "lurk" daily....so when the site is down, I do get concerned. In any case, I am glad the site is back up with nothing lost. Good job guys

Thanks Keith, oh and Wondering, the nice thing about backups is if we need to switch hosts, it takes less than a day to pay for a new host space, upload files, and switch internic to point to the new ip addresses.

Keith, I am not sure but I think you can *view* the Facebook group without being logged in. I will check now...

... ok so no, you can't. But Keith, dude... maybe it's time, eh? ;) Go sign up :thumbsup:
