And TJE is splitting away from TGC.

It's very, very bad of me... but I find both those things rather humorous.

I do feel sorry for the hundreds of fledgling boards/board designers who were ruined by the hack though... so you can't call me heartless.

Was it an actual hack?...or just a really bad bug or something?

Remind me again who is TJE?

Nope, It was an actual hack. Like "Hey, I think I'll hack EZBoard" kind of hack.

Y'know, the kind of hack that is actually called a crack, but people call it a hack anyway.

And I'm pretty sure that "TJE" stand for "The Jedi Elite".

Wow, that sucks. Though a few less elite Jedi is never a bad thing...

Yeah, most boards were affected pretty bad, including SWTales.

Well, the old VC board has been raped and pillaged.

Nothing left of it.

GC board was also hit. Fortunately we never really did much there anyway. And we don't have fleet stats anymore, so who really cares? Except my brilliant plan for GC was hidden away there, plus a ton of old R&Ds and potential new ones. But Ezboard is trying to get back most of the posts (apparently).

Yeah, they mess with a lot of my other RPs that are still on EZboard. Thankfully, one of my major areas didn't get hit that baddly. Only my one RP was damaged by it, but I was about to drop out anyway (God-Modders *shakes fist*) but still, it's the principle.

I read their announcements, but I basically think it's all lies. It smells of an in-network bug.

For one thing, what bonehead keeps their backup servers hooked up to the internet?

"Oh! Oh! Please delete me!"
