We are doing everything we can to get the site back up and running. It is true that the hacker destroyed the entire database. Luckily, Jose backs up the forum very frequently and we will hopefully have the site back up and running on Monday. We could have it up today, we just do not want to take a chance of it being cracked again.
Yes, the reward money is also true. This is Jose's baby, if someone through my baby against a wall I'd offer every damn penny to find the bastard who did it and throw him behind bars. It's hard to motivate people to help, especially online, by asking for favors and the promise that the forum they frequent daily will be back online again soon (for free).
Thanks for all the continued support and hopefully we will never have to deal with this problem again. (also appreciate the lack of other 240 community bashing
) (Sorry for the poor writing ability, I've been writing a final project all day and am sick of it now.)
