As to the issue some of you have addressed yesterday, here is your update. Yesterday morning shortly after 11am the Privatjokr.com Forums were hacked. To the best of my knowledge there was nothing personal involved, but it was also not necessarily a random attack. I fit the profile that excited this guy. My forum software was the right version and was configured the right way to allow him to do what he needed. I am not the only one to suffer a loss at his hand, but maybe I will be one of the last. That would be only if he gets bored, however. Bored with senselessly depriving people of the conversations they have had over time and comfort they find during the course of the day.
My efforts since the "incident" have not yielded any results to restore what was lost. If a few last resort attempts fail as well, as I expect them to, then I will move on.
When I get a little free time (hopefully this weekend) I will begin to explore the idea of Privatjokr.com Forums 2.0. There will be formatting to work on, but it will not necessarily be done before the Forums go live.
There are no less topics to discuss, right now there is only one less place to discuss them. I want to bring back a place where everyone knows your name...that is unless you choose to remain anonymous.
Here we have a chance to rebuild. It is also an opportunity to start fresh. Everyone will have a clean slate and zero posts. I will ask that you re-register and help me rebuild what we had. I invite you to come back, but it is entirely at will. Maybe even one or two of the members who has gone inactive will view this as a chance to get back into the routine.
To reiterate, the Forums as we have known them are gone. They have been hacked. I do not expect to be able to recover what was taken. I am dedicated to replacing to the best of my ability what was once available. Please check back for the new release of the Privatjokr.com Forums. It will never be the same, but different does not mean worse.
