    Just out of curiousity, marioguy, were you the one who hacked it? I don't think it was you, but I'm just asking.

    Why would I hack tyfn. I like that place. I even made this topic.

    Good point. I also suspected that it might have been southern yoshi or Geno Ration who hackd the forum, though (and still kind of do).

    You're internet won't be banned. It's only a free froum. No one paid for the site, so I don't think there would be a punishment.

    100,000 posts? I highly doubt that.

    But that sucks for that forum. But the admins DO know they can open a support ticket and get all that stuff back, right?

    They asked for a support ticket today. It'll take a while for tyfn to get back to normal. The link I gave in my first post, was the page that it is now. All hacked and stuff. If you don't believe me about the 100,000 post count. Look at the Cached snapshot of the page. Thanks to google. Click here

    Once (at my forum) the Off Topic board (about 4,000 posts at the time) was deleted by a glitch and they said they would look into getting back, but they never did. However this is a more serious situation, so I'm pretty sure they'll be able to get it all back.

    I just relized that this board is actually IPB, not IF, so they'll probabaly get it back easier (but I'm nto sure because I don't know much about IPB).

    Actually they most likely put a good amount of money into it. This site DOES have a cost because it is not IF. They must pay for a host or server and a domain.

    What also sucks was that they even had their own domain name...

    I hope this forum isn't the hackers next victim! :(

    I hope it's NSider, that place needs to be reinvented. :lol:

    - Not only domain but they had to pay to host it as I said in my other post

    - Hackers aren't verry common, but if it does get hacked IF can most likely restore most of it.

    - NSider is not likely to get hacked in a serious way because Lithium is just way to amazing. Also, NSider rocks! V_V It has been hacked before aparently. Some say it was a glitch though.

    "Actually they most likely put a good amount of money into it. This site DOES have a cost because it is not IF. They must pay for a host or server and a domain."

    Actually, depending on who their host is, they may not have to pay for it. I have some free hosting and my forums are powered by Invision Power Board, and not Invisionfree. The only thing they would have had to pay for is having the 'Powered by Invision Power Board' removed from the title bar and the bottom of the page.

    I could be mistaken though/

    I don't like NSider anymore. It's too overcrowded with spammers. I bet if some hacker came and deleted Power On, we'd lose alot of spammers, and I bet NSider would be alot happier.

    You guys need to stay in other boards, not Power On. My home is The Crossing Guarian. ^_^ (animal crossing)

    They don't pay for the forums, and you triple posted. You should be banned.

    Bad news guys...I don't think tyfn will ever come back. I just talked to the main admin, ~N~. He said that it will take $150 to restore tyfn, and he doesn't have money like that. IF is just taking advantage of tyfn just because it was such a huge message board.
