    Go to SmackTalk - that may solve the mystery: Alabama_Woman got so incensed by the 3-thread ownership, he got one of his equally geeky loser friends to hack into the site and fuck it up....

    WE WERE HACKED! BY ME :crying:

    I was installing some software and something went really wrong. The whole system crashed and I didn't have a backup. So the people that run my server were very cool and restored it from scratch so I wouldn't loose anything. Otherwise we would have been fucked.

    I'm an idiot. I have to write a script to do nightly backups.

    Where I work there is some knucklehead who has a cron job that is supposed to do that but all It does is send his server into kernel panic. Be extra careful

    I'm glad it got resolved but damn I was bored! But yet I still didnt visit any other boxing forum except Miguelcotto.com. I guess I prefer this board over anyother forum around.
