Good News
By QBlog in
I'm still trying to get the forum back up but I do have good news. It looks like the database was salvaged and at worst, a few of the posts from last weekend will be lost. User data and configurations look to be intact. I'm really happy about this.
The grunt work now involves figuring out how to restore the corrupted forum files. Not as easy as it seems at first glance.
And some of the blog posts and comments were lost too but I'll be restoring that soon. If you see comments added with similar time-stamps that's me manually dropping them back in.
Oh, and by the way... the killer bees are swarming.
UPDATE
Yesterday's "Joe Land" post was lost. I'll try to repost it tomorrow. You ever have those days where you feel like you take one step forward and two steps back? This has been one of those weeks.
UPDATE 2
Things are looking REALLY good. Forum should be back online tonight. Missing "Joe Land" post restored (or rewritten) and blog comments manually reinserted (only 20 or so were lost so that shouldn't be hard). I need to do some quality checks, set some permissions and perform a few minor edits but the forum should be 99.9% restored before Christmas Eve officially begins.
Sadly, posts made on the forum from Dec. 18 until it was hacked are gone forever, casualties of some dumb haX0r. Thanks to you all for your patience and I'm so thrilled that your posts were not lost (except for a few).
Comments
thanks for all the hard work Qblog. We really appreciate it.
Thank you for all of the effort and skill you put into the blog. It's too bad you have to spend some of your holiday season fixing someone else's vandalism. :(
Killer Bees?
