Backup status:

* ZU: 6 months old
* Ircman: 6 months old

And I just backed up the zgames folder and the associated SQL tables.

EDIT: I'm going to hold off on restoring from backup for a few days.

We should fucking do something about this goddamned dicksucker JohnK.

Also god I read almost all of the whole Elig/Exophase drama and it is such a clusterfuck.

all of those game nodes we put up the past few weeks are gone and will need to be re-added

* Asmodeus
* Banana Quest
* Bizanloo (?)
* Dragon Woods
* Drip
* Escape From Castle ZaZoomDa
* Flimsytown
* Kyler's Adventure Demo
* Legend of Brandonia
* LOME: Legend of Matt Eatingham
* NextGame 33
* Nightmare
* nightplanet
* NO!
* PPDV2
* Run-On
* Scooter

* Spaceman Jones in Ordeal on Glaxnard XII
* Uddie Blade
* The Day Odin Got Up On The Wrong Side of Bed

* Welcome to Seasons

* some stubs about blinkx, scancode.com, and that custom palette program
* some stubs about ZAP, dreamZZT and BANG!

(there were more but i forget)



...not that they had much on them, but they were ripe for editing and linking. I'll work away at that once things are functioning. i will call it PROJECT WISHYWASHY IDEAL

edit: I saved the screenshots at least, also added more to the list

also ando if you remember any important edits you should write them down in a notebook so as not to forget them, you will be a hero

well, at least the johnk node itself is easy enough to retrieve, seeing as nihilistmatt was running around crying about it a bloo a bloobloobloo

and various bits and pieces can be reassembled from logs and such...

i'm guessing the backup will go back to the end of january, right...?

Yes - at least, according to the last-modified dates on the files at hillofants.com.

Also, any info you guys can give me on the events surrounding the hacking would be much appreciated.

So will the majority of the lost information have to be reconstructed from memory?

It's probably not directly his fault but yeah we should probably look into that.

How is this my fault at all? You using a piece of forum software known for its propensity for attracting exploits like flies, and I step in and save your asses from further problems, and you say "We shouldn't use him as a host anymore"

Damn, if I hadn't been your host, the forums would be gone too.

You should be fucking thanking me.

Well you are strongly associated with the most likely suspects of the hacking.
