Welcome Back! So what happened to the boards?

[Sir Willow]

I know from my end it sure looked like a hacker attacked the boards, and it seems to be the general impression from others as well. But I'm wondering if our guess work is right.
<BR>
<BR>And if so, any suspects?

Thanks Alex. A DOS attack? I missed that one when I was out of town for the weekend I guess.
<BR>
<BR>The board corruption though doesn't surprise me- that's what I figured it was.
<BR>
<BR>Big question is, why would someone want to do that? Who did TR get so upset that they would stoop to that?

[Flix]

that aint no big question, it might just be a small tiome hacker or something, doesn'yt nessacerllariy(sp???) mean it was vengance!
