The forum was hacked two times. All files were deleted by the hacker. It was most unfortunate I wasn't in town during the periods of these two mishaps.
The latest backup I have is 23 June 2006. Sorry, all messages left in whole month of July are gone!
Hacker may attack again thru the system loop hole. In order to stop this, the registration will be authorised by the system administrator instead of the user himself and no avatar image upload is allowed.
I will try to update the lastest version of the forum software but it all depends on the web hosting company.
Cheers
