I delt with this vbulletin hack all day as I am a server admin by profession and I don't blame your staff for that at all even if it was not a new hack people get hacked everyday I probably deal with 10 sites getting hacked. However, I have to say I am very disappointed in your staff that the backups are so old. Why is there not a cron job to backup a site as popular as this or mirror it daily? I would like to volunteer my help with mysql replication setup and backups. I know you don't care but if the backup issue is not fixed I will honestly just stop visiting this site so much and probably rarely post here at all even though I have been a daily contributor for quite some time, I will just spend my time on my own sites as I probably should be anyway, at least I know its backed up.
If you had bothered to read the post on the support forum you wouldnt have written this.

well I noticed the site they linked jalink was also already hacked when I plotted to take revege and ran a hail mary attack. I assume the site we were being linked to is being made to look bad because they are already hacked yet their website is left in tact.

No worries RIU, I have a vb site as well and DDoS attacks are the norm it seems. One time I had to restore a backup that was 6 months old; you can imagine the outrage by the members. I feel your pain guys, don't worry about it though, words can be rewritten and the passion for growing will always be there so nothing was lost my friends. Let's keep on growing and move on. :)

This is my reply to that post, do you know where you are?
They were pretty clear about the double edged sword between data security and backups.

You seemed to completely ignore all that and offer up technical expertise they already have.

So I assumed you were smarter than that and actually missed reading the post. However, I might have been mistaken.

oh I read it....sorry this is not an excuse at all...the guy in charge of the backups is obviously incompetent. This is what I do for a living, sorry you don't understand that.

i wish i could like this. unfortunately likes were lost during the time travel.

small price to pay.
i'm sure they will be back in due time.. i'd think admin has their hands full atm with more important matters and in a few days or so the site will be back to normal, minus the lost data from the sound of it..

What, you mean I have to start over AND not have access to the earth-shattering, mind-blowing, one-of-a-kind "Connor Pot Charles Cannabis Growing Method"? I was so close to seeing my plants grow 5" per day! Damn you all, damn you all to hell!
