It seems that someone thought we should all convert to Muslim, and decided that this site was the best place to start.
Some time between 3AM to 3PM Sunday a Muslim hacker gained control of our homepage using a flaw in an old script that we don't even use anymore. (Zoints... the old custom profile pages)
Having learned from the first time this happened, I take a full backup of the forum database (which runs the ENTIRE site) every morning.
So, a simple little DB restore command, and we're back.
HOWEVER, if you posted something after 3AM this morning (Sunday), and before about 5:30pm today (Sunday) your post is gone.
Thanks for the understanding. I've deleted the offending scripts, so hopefully we won't have this issue again.
