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

It sucked. Temporarily, everything vanished completely. Fortunately, RPGWW being a gold board, RPGWW posts from 2005 April 22 and backward were able to be restored--backup data of posts is a gold feature. However, posts between April 22 and May 31 were lost, as were all the posts to our non-gold board, The RP Bootcamp.

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