    Hello all, As you may all be aware, there was a hacking attempt on the server this weekend. After unsuccessfully trying to repair the attack, we decided to rollback the server to a previous state. This rollback dates from September 8th, therefore anything made in the past week has ben lost. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are soon moving to UPSBv5, which will have enhanced security features to prevent such attacks.

    That really grinds my gears. Did you guys ever figure out who tried to hack the server? I just realized that 2008 was 6 years ago. I feel old -_-

    Yay @Ceru Seiyu got premium! :D Anyhoo....why would someone try to hack the server of a pen spinning forum. It's not like we have any personal info on here and even if they did, why is a pen spinning forum the place to go.

    I posted in the fundraiser thread we had before the rollback. Let's just say our members were extremely generous. Don't fret, your donation is graciously accepted and will be used for forthcoming projects.

    I can't tell when we'll be finished exactly. I would estimate 2-3 weeks.
