Last night, http://www.PortAdelaideProud.com was hacked into, and everything on the forums was deleted. The address for those forums was http://pavilion.jconserv.net

We have now set up http://pap.jconserv.net as a temporary forum, if we can recover all of the lost data from the old forum. I really do apologise to those who had become members, but unfortunately everyone will need to register with the new forum. To everyone who was using the old forum, I hope you continue stand by us through this time.

Thankyou
Troy Wingate

No need to apologise for other people's stupidity Troy. Good to see you may be able to recover the lost data. Good luck.

Troy if you're on paid for webspace it should be backed up regularly by your webspace provider.
IF its free webspace then yes its, up to you to back it up so you could be in trouble.
Good luck, if you need any help let me know.
Hmm, that reminds me, I might back up my data! :wink:

I guess I'm in trouble then.

Thanks for that Wedgie. Although I'm not exactly sure what you could help with.

Thanks to everyone who continues to support Port Adelaide Proud, whether you hate Port Adelaide or not.

Troy,

Do not support your club but have enjoyed reading your site at various times, was/is a good site - bad luck with the d*ckheads and good luck with the restore.

It's worth paying for a real host, db.org only costs $10 a month and I'm sure there's even cheaper ones than that.

Tough luck PAP. Although I always give as much as I can to upset the Swampie cause, I reckon it's pretty bad to do what some obvious juvenile has done. Hopefully the offender is NOT a SANFL supporter but some wacked out nerd.

I have a look at all the forums, and they are all great to the cause of the League. I too agree with giffo in the hope that it's not an SANFL fan; but that still is little consolation if it's not as some f*ckwit has still ruined a lot of hard work.

Hacking a forum is a pretty gutless act by some keyboard cowboys. Hopefully everything gets sorted out.

Thanks for all the support guys. Hacking into and deleting someone's work is pretty pathetic, don't understand how people can get their rocks off doing that type of crap.

We'll do the only thing we can. Move forward.

And get paid hosting! :D lol.
