Starting at 9:50:22 on November 28th, a hacker tampered with the forum database, most notably deleting all posts and threads.

Thanks to a lot of hard work by War Lord and Shadowblazer the forums have been upgraded to version 4.0 and posts and threads restored from one of my backups. Unfortunately, the backup was several months old; War Lord has talked to his host but they do not have any automated backups. It is thus unlikely that any recent posts will ever be recovered.
War Lord and I will work on setting up automated backups to minimize the damage similar attacks can do in the future.

Due to both the attack and the upgrade, many forum features are likely missing, disabled, or broken. If you notice anything amiss, please post in this thread or send me a PM, and I will try to get everything back up as soon as possible.
