Oh well, we'll repopulate in no time. Think of the 2010 forum, there must be nothing left!!

Side note, that rear glass louver set-up looks awesome. Who makes those?

I wonder if it was a recent or a past individual that was banned?

Uh...calling them names and all is what they feed off of, guys. The hacker's probably paging through the forum just laughing his butt off at how spun up you all are. Not that I don't agree with the comments, but all you're doing is handing him another beer and saying thanks.

Agreed. Time to switch hosts or something. Any attack on the main database should be separate from the backups (that's why you have them). Don't know how this site is set up, but with most of my forums (even the ones hosted on other systems I didn't setup) I can still go into the admin panel and download a backup to my machine if I want. But that's beside the point.

I wasn't me! LOL

Even though I had an evil thought or two about hacking the **** control freaks at imboc. But I'm not smart enough on computers to know how to do it.

It was probably some jerk at Camaro5 that broke his half shafts on the line and is getting even with Mustangs! Or maybe it was Tony Pedrigon crying some more!

All joking aside, sorry this happened Brad and team. And I really appreciate the hard work getting the forum running again!!! Thanx!!!

Have we ruled out Ford Motor Co. mercenaries? The site was receiving quite a bit of 2011 press right before this

If that was the case, than other sites like Muscular Mustangs.com would be down to. They have a 2011 thread with the specs that were on here a couple of months ago. I'm glad this sites back up; but it stinks that all the info is gone. I was meaning to print off a couple of lines within some threads for some upcoming mods to make sure my order of operations was right. Dam Geek Squad. Can't they just be happy with their cop car painted VW Beetles

No, it's not us. The only thing my benefactors have instructed is continued Camaro slander and Prius ramming.

On the other hand, now I have my life back? No more staying awake wide-eyed and staring blearily at awesome install posts, photochop rendering and future tech musings.

Sniff. Sniff. It's like my second favorite toy just got stolen.

Excellent point of reference on the importance of knowing how often to do off-site backups for a specific website though... once a year for a site like this was... well. We all know now, right? Sigh.
