Folks, just went through a very serious DB crash. Something got really screwed up on the host end, but fortunately I was able to restore all the SQL tables. I'm pretty sure we didn't loose too much, but the last backup was at 15:30 today. Anything that was posted after that time may not be present. Let me know if you notice any weird behavior.
BTW, it's time that we moved forward from this version of phpBB as it no longer has the modern anti-spam measures that haven't yet been cracked by hackers. That'll come soon.

Re: Major DB crash
Thanks Amstel, and thank you.
I didn't noticed Forums had been hacked, everything seems to be in order.
Our forums do seem to have a lot of guests registering accounts.
So forums are under attack from hacker's and spammers.
Thanks,
St Mungo

Re: Major DB crash
I must say that I'm really irked with the way phpBB is being developed. Migrating from 3.0X to 3.2X is a royal PITA. DB has to be converted and often times it fails miserably.
Need to find a nice wall and bang my head against it.
