EZBoards got Nuked
« on: June 1, 2005, 05:00 PM »
One of the larger free/cheap do it yourself forum server out there EZBoard got hacked in the last few days.  Quite a few places I skim through from time to time got large amounts of threads and data totally wiped from the planet

EZBoards are trying to fix it but little has changed yet that I can see, this is a lot worse than people realize it is, as months and years of posts could be gone forever :-\

Imagine Watto's without a year and a half worth of posts...wow :-[

The X-Treme Detail Military Collectibles boards used to be hosted through there since it's a relatively small and privately run community...  They have a separate forum now, but I can imagine the turmoil that would've caused.  Those guys go ape**** when their site's down, like it's crack.

There's some good modeling forums on there with lots of tips and tricks archived.  Sad if that stuff's lost from a customizer's standpoint.

That really sucks. It's nice having a few years worth of posts to go back and stroll through when I'm bored.


What would be worse than wattos being hit?

That's enough guys.  That's too frightening a prospect to even fathom.

So Ezboards is in no way affiliated with Proboards, right? Proboards just happens to be doing upgrades at the moment.

Simple news article: http://www.halifaxlive.com/artman/publish/ezboard_010605_7762.shtml

Gosh, I wonder how bad it was?  Could you notice any change to the Simpson board?

Some of the boards got entire sections wiped, some got the posts in threads wiped.

In the Simpsons board, you can see there are two threads from today and then a gap to April 2004

Memberships got erased, its a mess

That sucks.  I used to go to that Simpsons board all the time.  It was one of the best sites out there IMO.  Hopefully they are able to fix things.

So is EZBoard now offline completely?  I haven't been able to view even their mainpage in almost 3 days.
