Forums - Website Topics - VGChartz got attacked [IMPORTANT]

lol keep calm. I thought it funny. I've seen so much worse in my time when forums got hacked. I remember in 2006 a forum I was a mod of got hacked and a dude posted thousands of scat porn pics and another time another guy posted tubgirl. This was mild. I figured it would be over by morning lol.

JLauro and the other coders are going through the entire site to find everything that was "deleted" to restore it (It actually isn't deleted just hidden somewhere). So anyone who has been wrongly banned we are working on getting your accounts restored. 

All the posts with the tables from the COMG! thread (maybe including the user account who posted them) are gone, that's gonna take a while to repair if ou have to do those one by one...

We are hoping we can restore missing posts. That is on JLauro and Talon in figuring that out.

So is this why trying to enter certain threads just sends me back to the frontpage, like Club Nintendo and Most Wanted October?
Also, has the rollback occurred, and if not, is there not point in posting til it does cos any posts now would just be erased?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure it all out. Thanks to the staff for all your work.

Yeah that is likely why it sends you to the front page. A lot of the staff haven't been able to get on the site. I was one of the few accounts we were able to get running again.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Exactly that. Talon is working through the code to fix what he can.

That's not nice. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
