Bunk you're under 3000 posts again lol. That should keep you busy and us entertained. Cheers
I'm under 2000 now! Time to relive becoming a diamond participant!
I went from over 1200 posts to zero...
Big deal really, thanks Bobber for all of your hard work to get the site back up and running.

Yeah Devy... it sure did seem blantantly targeted.
There was a world wide botnet attack against blogs and forums. Any site using a known platform (phpbb, wordpress, etc.) was targeted. The login page for each platform all have the same name (wp-login.php is wordpress for example). The botnet was looking for sites by ip (nothing to do with domain name) and throttling the login pages using default admin user names and cycling millions of passwords through it. Fish-hawk was not targetted, it just happened to get cracked/hacked. Rj's site was hit it in the last major attack (over a year ago), but I was able to get back into the database and clean it up without having to revert to a backup.
Glad you got things sorted out Bobber. Now to get all the riff-raff banned again.

I did Dougster! Don't get notifications of PM's from there though... it did take me awhile. Missed ya dood!
And yes, the few times I did specifically crappie fish, they were on.

And there we have it! I had no idea. Was weird that F-H not only crashed though, but that it got completely wiped out of existence with it's host.
