If it has been hacked their security must have been piss poor.  Oh well, the only sympathy I can muster is for Ren and the possibility of her not being able to contact her friends.  I know that feeling all too well.  I still wonder about some friends that I made of past forums and how they are doing.    :(

So is it back online? Have they recovered it?

Seems like they have now, took a good couple of days. Cba to check since I don't really post much on it. The day I did happen to lurk was the day Alex said some absurd things. I thought it was pretty hilarious.  :LOL:

I'm left wondering if Alex is having a "moment" and his own "vultures" coming home to roost.  I often wondered about that when amy abruptly went bonkers and pulled the plug on AFF.  Or when Crucibelle did the same tp aspergian island.  At least Gareth left a few weird clues before leaving FB and here. 

Oh well, this moment if introspection by me will pass swiftly till the next time my memory is jogged.  8)

Aspergian Island was how long ago though.... probably before I was prevalent on the forums

Quite some time ago.  It was gone sometime about 15 or so years ago.  I discovered forums in the 1990's.  The exact time frame is hazy and justifiably so.  I was a member of many forums and most are long gone.  Not my monkeys or my circus any more........I have out grown them.

It's a bit of everything. Computers, internet, tech gadgets. Then it's got sections on automotives, real estate, jobs and education, current news, lifestyle, movies, music, games, travel....

If it has been hacked their security must have been piss poor.

To be fair most fora out there have piss-poor security. Goes with the territory. You do a php-based board and off you go.

Ok, not being web savvy, I didn't know that.
