From the previous thread:
ADMIN NOTE
Per the recent FAQ on the ezBoard help forum:
Quote:
Q. Will my board be restored?
A. We do have backups of about 9000 gold boards and there will be an announcement on the restoral schedule and process coming soon.
Q. What should I (the admin of a board) do? Do I need to request a restoral?
A. NO, you don't need to request a restoral. The majority of boards need a restoral so when they are done it will be systematically, not individually. The only thing you way want to do is to manually save or copy important recent posts or board changes, such as custom emoticons or custom HTML. This is because a restoral will take your board back in time to the date of the last backup, so recent changes and posts could be lost.
Q. My board had more topics lost last night, recent posts that were showing during the day yesterday. What happened to those?
A. The recent posts were only stored in cache memory, not on the server hard drive. Last night most servers were rebooted which empties the cache, which is why more posts disappeared last night.(mostly posts which had been made yesterday) We were not hacked again.
<snipped out bug topics unrelated to the WMS board>
Bug 6. Topics are there but when you open them, most of the replies are corrupted. They say author is "unknown" and the posts say "this topic is missing and cannot be restored". It is not certain we can get these corrupted topics back, but we will try.
IF ezboard is able to restore our board they will do so to a date prior to the hacking (obviously). At that time, EVERYTHING that is posted from that date forward will likely be lost.
We are asking that you do NOT post in any forums except this one at this time.
I will open a new Main thread - it's almost time anyway. It will likely be a temporary thread and there is a high possibility we will lose it. Ezboard just does not yet know how this will play out. In the meantime, we can save this temporary thread occasionally and not have to run all over the board saving posted stuff in case it gets lost during restore.
Feel free to use this temporary thread to post anything you want, topical or not.
I am following the issue closely. If you are interested in following along with the nightmare, you can do so here:
