yep.. in case you missed all the excitement, another account on our server was hacked and it brought the whole thing down.... our soon-to-be ex-host only had a backup from last november, so here we are!

thanks to Glodenox for getting us back up on the forum, and even worked in a software update in the process, after using his site for a temp forum the past couple of days.

thanks in advance to jackstick, dark paladin, landerpurex, dragoncrusher1 and whoever i forgot for jumping into restoration of the site and forum... obviously we're missing everything for the past year, so it will be quite a task-- but the Village is up to it!

EDIT: see! i already missed one-- add Justin to the list of restorers... thanks Justin!

welcome home.

So we've all lost a whole bunch of posts? Is that all?

Well, at least we are back up and running. It feels weird seeing nothing but posts from nearly a year ago.
I feel bad for anyone who lost actual work they had done. Thanks to Glode for letting us use his server and thanks everyone who is helping to restore things.

WOW. Over 1000 posts and all mafia games gone, I have my old RuneScape signature... and a lot of great topics lost... just wow.

I'm glad that RV is back up, but... wow.

Yeah sh*t happens... I lost about 1.5k posts as well.... and most of them were staff related.
Besides that we're missing a couple small forum updates we did in between like some of Goten's artwork (Emoticons and Avatars) and custom titles...
I'm just glad RV 2.0 is not completely lost... that would have been HELL

Ouch.. has to be one of the biggest blows yet.

I have to get my 7k post milestone back

Back in the day we were damned lucky to get 30k xp an hour. I remember I trained to level 100 in rsc, back when it meant something at average of 25k xp an hour.

And we walked fifteen miles to the varrock bank in the snow without shoes or socks, uphill both ways!

Oh yeah, the Internet is a room at night with hills and Weeping Willows. True story.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, :facepalm:, :ura:, nothing, nothing, nothing, :upset:, :weird: (I think), nothing, nothing, :^_^:

Edit: On a happier note, the forum reset itself back to one of my favorite sigs. Good times, good times.

I tried to find Losing Time/Grand Finale by Dream Theater to post here, but it seems all of their videos have been removed from Youtube. Oh well. Look it up, good song.

I'm very pissed about this. The bullshit "360ish days of backups were corrupted" excuse is utter crap. Sue them.
