I have to say great work to the guys who is fixing this site after the hack, Bandorr your work is amazing. I cant imagine how much trouble it has been.
I think its clear whoever was behind the attack was once a member of the site.

Bandorr, Talon, and JLauro have spent many hours today getting the site fixed.

We are fairly certain on who did the attack.

How many people were actually banned? Feels like half of the regularly active members or more.

It's like VGC's version of The Snap only you know... it should be called The C***

Bandorr, Talon and JLauro are doing some great work restoring everything.

So was the attack done by a former member?, current member?. A need to know bases? .
