Please find a way to restore all deleted posts and threads...

Talon is on it, it's a little more complicated than we originally thought but he may have a solution, unfortunately the solution requires him writing up a huge amount of new code and he has a fulltime job so it may take a little bit and it's not a guarantee to work but let's hope, I've also lost about 20,000 comments from my Xbox OT, it sucks.

What I find odd, is not only were some site mods and the site author banned, but some regulars, like why specific regulars?.

It can't be some random hacker that just happened to come across this site, purely at random and decided to target a few mods and regulars, instead of just nuking the entire site, users and all. The oddity of it all just gets me thinking that it's someone we've known before on this site, that likely got perma'd and mulled for some time, if not yrs before taking revenge.

Seriously, why would it be a random hacker for a random site like this, it honestly makes no sense, because there isn't much to gain from taking the site down, slapping some dicks on it and erasing a few mods/regulars. I've seen hacks that have done more damage than this and those attacks were done for the "lulz" as they say.

Makes me wonder if that group of Sony users that were banned yrs ago and formed their own shitty website were behind this. likely not, but that lot that got banned were a super toxic, salty bunch (kerotan included). 

It's not any of those. No need to throw a dig at their website.

I'm fairly sure he just chose members who were either highly active or currently online, likely just went down the list.

We're very sure on who it is, and we believe it's a former member who has been permabanned, I don't know how much CGI wants me to say though.

This was necessary to allow those of us who were banned to start using the site normally again after being unbanned.

I think Basilzero's still corrupted as posts from him seem to have locked up both the Tears of the Kingdom and Nier Automata Switch threads.

The threads are fine I think, they're just missing posts from anyone who got 'delete' banned (same for all threads at the moment).

They seem technically fine, but they are always in orange despite there being no new posts.

If you keep spam opening it, don't they go eventually? I've got no orange left.
