*CRASH!*
Hello everybody. Just dropping into say hello. So... HELLO! EZboard got slapped around hard by hackers. 9000 (yikes!) boards were affected by this. If any of you frequent an EZboard, you might want to check and see if anything you posted was lost.

Whew. I actually just moved one of my board communities from EZboards to proboards a few months ago. Good call on that.

Well, in spite of the fact that its going to take a LOT of work, they think they'll be able to recover 90% of the information that was lost.
Oh, and they've started working with the FBI to try and track down the bastards that did this. Currently, there is a $5000 reward for information.

Kelticmoose seems to go offline for a day or two about once or twice a month...If we don't lose anything there I'll be fine with it, but if some of the game data from my pbp game or my openrpg game is lost, I'll be pretty miffed that I didn't bother to back everything up.

Ok, just so everyone knows. I back up the site on a regular basis. The most that could ever be lost would be a couple of days. (I run back ups on Wed and Sat). The only times I know it was down, were when I'd posted that it would be, and once during a long power outage (during which I couldn't post on either site for obvious reasons.)

Keltic Moose isn't on the EZboard servers to my knowledge, anyhow. WHoever did the hack on EZ even wiped out the backups (which are done daily as I understand).

EZboard is crap, anyway. The only good forum I've ever seen on EZboards is still up, and my global account is fine, too, so it matters little to me. EDIT: All the EZboards I know of are still up, actually. Granted, there are only a few, but they all seem to exist. Even Anime Sucks.  |

Well, EZ must back up on the same system as the boards themselves. I pull a backup from the board to another system.
