    Our site got hacked and whole forum deleted, except our member "fattwam" saved the Lobby forum from being deleted. The user JOHN, didn't infact "hack us" just steal a password, since hes the worst kind of hacker. I regained control with the help of fattwam and we restored a 1month old backup. To prevent this, a cron job now does a backup daily, to prevent future hackings. The site is also being redone

    1. e107 (content management system) will be deleted and restored w/ custom made template for only mods/apps etc
    2. phpbb3 site will be remodded with
    --Topic Tags
    --Arcade
    --Cash Mod
    --ACP Notepad
    --XBOX live pro
    --Chatbox
    (anymore?)
    3. The new site, will definitely take awhile, but I'm working at a faster rate then I thought.

    After that our new skin that Big4wheeler should give to us will be the main phpbb3 site theme. I did consider buying a v-Bulletin or IPB forum, but that isn't worth it, for halo modding. I will try to keep this site up and work and get the new site up. I'm still learning alot in Flash 8 marcomedia so give me some time, it will probably take about 2 weeks at this rate, but don't count on anything. I want to include the phpbb3 mods Arcade and Cashmod and live pro, but those aren't "golden" yet, so I can't include them. I would like to keep the e107 site. But it doesn't seem to get many hits. Any suggestions here are welcome. And thank you for staying.

    Why I don't have teh skin:

    1. School
    2. I swicthed my computer to Ubuntu and didn't pay attention to back that up
    3. My Router broke and didnt have access to a computer for like a month

    And im going to finish it when phpBB3 gold comes out so I don't have to redo it.

    O thats fine, I thought you ditched us, along w/ 10 other members, we got keylogged (or nielsss) and all my backups were old phpbb and THEY DIDNT WORK, so waiting to restart the forum. I though RC5 was it, they didn't find any major errors did they?

    I know this is all old news and stuff, but I was away on holiday.

    But anyway I would happily buy a vBulletin for you to use.
