Yeah, it sucked. Temporarily, everything vanished completely. Fortunately, RPGWW posts from 2005 April 22 and backward were able to be restored. Regularly made backup data is a [http://www.ezboard.com/content/view/56 Gold feature], apparently; while backup data was also attacked, there was still something to be restored to us. It was posts between April 22 and May 31 that were lost. Also, our non-gold board, [[The RP Bootcamp]], lost all posts at that time, including a rather groovy RP--and associated OOC thread--by MechanistoX.

Oh Shit

"On Tuesday May 31 ezboard's systems were the victim of a very precise and malicious internet attack. This attack resulted in the loss of a significant amount of current and historical board postings and interrupted services across all systems. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused and am here to give you the first of several in-depth updates."

Repercussions for RPGWW

Yeah, it sucked. Temporarily, everything vanished completely. Fortunately, RPGWW posts from 2005 April 22 and backward were able to be restored. Regularly made backup data is a Gold feature, apparently; while backup data was also attacked, there was still something to be restored to us. It was posts between April 22 and May 31 that were lost. Also, our non-gold board, The RP Bootcamp, lost all posts at that time, including a rather groovy RP--and associated OOC thread--by MechanistoX.

The old ADV! ezforum and The Phantom Lord's OT Board were eaten whole.
