CURRENT STATE OF THE SITE
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2019 8:18 pm
Hey all:
First the bad news....
The site was hacked and infected with spyware. I was able to reinstall the board software, but it also corrupted the database itself, so as of now I have not been successful restoring the tables. That means archive posts are gone, and users will have to re-register. I've been hacking at it for two days, and haven't been able to successfully get them to import.
At this point, I'm considering the "fresh start" option. When I first set up this site, it was in the final days of Dick LeBeau, in response to Bengals message boards that were just littered with negativity.
Maybe now, with the Marvin era over, it's an OK time for another reboot.
Now the good news....
If you're up for a fresh start, and re-registering, I plan to keep the site going for the foreseeable future.
