If you are wondering why clan members can not login or send PMs or get on chat, it is becuase last night we were hacked. It was a simple scripted hack used via the forums and once in they proceeded to fuck with any and all page files from each page of the site. No, passords were NOT compromised since they are all encrypted server side. However becuase so many areas were affected i had to take down PM,s Log/account, and site chat. Other areas are likely down as well, but should be of less importance to you.

Script kiddies, as they are called, love to attack sites using software they know millions of others use. Becuase we use PHPbb for the forums it makes us an easy target. Hopefull i can have this mess set asside ASAP. I may have to do a full restore which means any data from the last day or so will be wipped. If you have posted anything in the last day or so just make sure you make a copy of it in case you want to post again. For updates, please check back to this blog. Thanks, back to work for me...

UPDATE 1: Site Chat Back Online

UPDATE 2: Account and Login Back Online

UPDATE 3: PMs now online
