The board is up again.
However, several post and recent member might be missing due to database backup restore.
Most missing board images will be restored from backup soon.
We apologize for your inconvenience.

The down might be caused by a hack, and we are still investigating it.
Please post your thought or question regarding this down in this topic, not in other section.

Thank you.
The RBO Team

About the members that were lost, how do they re-register without having to make another email? I've tried to register again but when I got to the end of the registration process, it told me that I have already used the original email address used on the the first time to register on this site. I may or may not be the only one with this problem but if others get this too... well.. I'm just trying to help them with the problem too by makin' it known.

thats strange... i re-registered just fine
try again

Congrats to the Staff for restoring the site, and wish you guys luck in finding that hacker (if it was hacked)

Oh great, my post count decreased by 100 posts... Well, time to spam! (just joking...)

BTW, any chance I can know when was this back-up created?

Glad to see the forums back up and running again.

I had to re-reg with my old email.

Haha, guess I was worried for nothin'... ^^;; Uh.. carry on.. good thing it only happened to me.. but then agian, maybe it's cuz I tried to register right after the forum came up or after I tried to log in first... ah well.. long live teh forums, may it never have something like that happen agian~

im back too, but if you can get my RP back plz.

Yay! *Throws confetti* The forum is back! ^o^ *Hurries and checks the mage skills before the site goes down again* Let's all thank the RBO team for bring it back online! =D

Oh man, all the work, the phone calls, and the hell. I am happy as well to see it back up. We have been making SQL and FTP backups on a weekly basis after the last crash. You learn from your mistakes.....

The next big step is upgrading to IPB 2.1.7, which will close a MASSIVE amount of security holes.

This is the last backup we have...
The backup date is around July 17th...

Sorry, but any record of new member or new post after the backup most likely is gone...

There are also some member name is missing...
I'll recheck if there is any way to fix this...

Edit: Fixed...

Oddly im just fine and i was on logged in the whole time

Sweet, not the mass of people are back... We were down to like one thousand some odd members, now were back up to 5,000!

Hehe, glad to see the old staff/members returning. Dunno if you guys saw this humble thread of mines. Nways, let's keep this forum running!
