Site Hack Explanation
Posted on Apr 03, 2025 by thedopefish

The main site, wiki, and forums have been fully restored (with the exception of the default theme from the old forums, which is sadly not compatible with the new version of SMF).

Turns out, it was not a "hack" at all, but rather our hosting provider triggered an automated Quarantine feature that hid all the files. We still don't know why it happened, and have no guarantee it won't happen again. But everything is back up, and we have better backups now in case anything does happen down the road.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program. POST HACK.

Thanks for bearing with us. As you can see, the main site is up and should be fully functional. Forums are also up and should be fully functional, except that it's got a generic theme for now so it looks weird.

Download links on both are mostly still broken. We have a plan underway that should fix all of the hack downloads, and as many of the resource downloads as possible. Screenshots will be more challenging, so we're considering a community effort to take new ones for a bunch of hacks--stay tuned for more information when we're ready for that.

Unfortunately, it's likely impossible to recover all the old forum attachments. RIP in pieces :(

Technical Difficulties

Something happened to our server recently. Forums are currently down, and download links for hacks and resources are broken. Still investigating what happened and attempting to bring everything back up.
