Steve Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi Guys We have a little bit of unfortunatenews. We had some security issues which may have resulted in someonedeleted a part of our database on the server. As we tried to use our back ups it turns out that the daily back up would not load up and we ended up with an older back up. We have lost quite a few days and new members sign up. Wehave taken steps to resolve this back up issue so it will not happenagain and that we will not loose so much data if we ever have problemsagain. Big apologies for any inconvenience.

Jay762 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 yup there is a lot gone missing - where was the breach from, the hosting company or internal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I had picked up on a lot of Russians coming on and posting links to sale sites and other crap to get movies online. I also noticed I blocked one of them and he some how managed to unban himself some how. Might be a coincidence :( On a + note least someone thought it was worth their time we must be doing something right haha :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I've been getting rid of them ASAP when posted but once it's been posted you get the email. I would say anyone who gets that should check on the forum. before clicking any link's, if the poster has less then 50 posts and looks out of place just report it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Maybe someone should start a post your gauge's thread then it could be a ref point for others ? I'll repost my pics at some point for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
