Hey, I know some of us here also are on the BT forums. I just tried to check them out and got a notice about a security breach of massive proportions. Anyone have any info about it?

There was a big security breach. How big of a breach, we're not going to tell you. /Monty Python

Sorry, I was in the mood for some MP. It's pretty much what it says on the forum page. Site got hit, and it got hit hard. Can't say if more details will be released, but if I were a betting man I would assume that I'm not going to get everything back.

I realize it'll be a while as things get fixed, but mind dropping any info you do get, Mr. Smith? An ETA or anything like that?

I doubt I'll get any good updates on when it'll be ready. What I'm expecting is a quiet heads-up that the new board is ready but the link is unpublished, early enough to set up my account before the rush. As of right now, haven't heard anything.

Well, I mostly lurk there, so the re-registering meant I could rethink my handle. So, instead of Ravenheart, I went with Dr. Banzai.

Well, I'm not ranting about it, but it was nice to see something for all the time I put in. And I admit, I spend more time here than I did there. Still, I like to keep up with things, especially all things Raveny and the forums were the best way to get info.
