We were bombed today (sunday). Gash was able to lock down the Café in time and then the OOC forum when they tried to start there.

Two and a half pages in the Café were lost, and five topics in the OOC forum. The Café is hidden and locked right now, so the ezBodies can look it over.

The following forums are locked.

<li>Cafe (also hidden)
<li>A&E
<li>The Battlegrounds
<li>OOC Forum
<li>IC News
<li>R&D
<li>Training Grounds

Since you'll naturally want to get into these forums, just PM or AIM a staff member, and they'll send you the password. You can propagate the password amongst yourselves, but do not give it to anyone you don't know.

For now, use this as a dump-all for any topics.

Move off of ezBoard. Get out of the showcase. Use the MBA feature.

The next best thing is to set up restrictive user levels. Newbies get only 3-5 posts a day for a few days. These spammers cycled their accounts, so using the post flood safety check wouldn't help any...

Had this happen to another board I used to frequent, unfortuantely for that one we only had one admin and he wasn't on when the attack came....so he had to request for a restore. Lost about a months worth of posts if I remember right...
