Forums disappearing earlier?

[Ahyoka]

Does anyone know the rougly the time they disappeared because everyone was working ok when I went out and then when I get back, the forums have actually been deleted from the database.

I noticed the social lounge, cf suggestions and feedback and for sale/trade sections were already gone at about 10am my time (US central time) and I PM'd Brookfield about then.

Are our usernames/passwords safe incase this was a hack? Or should we all update passwords?

They are MD5 Hashed, Which IS crackable... Im not changing mine tho...

They are ok, they are encrypted in the db.

I still think if youd been hacked they would have obliterated the entire site but if it was a hacker you dont necessarily know who it was and what their motives are

Well if they hacked in and deleted everything I would just restore a backup and that would be that. I know alot of old members who would enjoy currupting and deleteing forums causing havoc to the forum itself and me.
