This forum was recently deleted by a hacker and all the posts are gone, including ones from Ritchie. I'm really sorry this happened and have no idea why anyone would want to destroy a fan board. The world has a few really sick people in it.

Some people are just sad. Something like this happened a couple of months ago on another board a frequent. Some people just have no respect for others.
Peace, Rotae

bit weird that only one forum was deleted instead of the whole board.... you would think that the 'hacker' would have deleted the whole board instead. Just a thought.

The Ritchie forum was the huge one with most of the interesting messages in it.

Just out of curiousity, so don't take this the wrong way like it has been done in the past!! But I don't see why a "hacker" would delete a whole forum and not anything else. So are you sure it wasn't just an accident and your looking for someone to blame?? I mean everything else was the same but the General Ritchie, they didn't even delete any mods or change anything about the board but that, so it doesn't seem like a job a "hacker" would do. Now I would understand if it was an accident, that makes more sense!
Also, I learned in my CIS class *That's Computer Information Systems for those that don't know* That the term hacker does not mean to get the password of someone with authority and log in as them to change things about. In other words it's not the idea what everyone thinks it is. In fact being a hacker is completely legal. By definition it's someone who sits at a computer and figures out how the computer works *something a nerd would do*. I just thought that was interesting. And with everything going on lately, that was the one part of my class that I paid attention too!!!!

You cant do it by accident. You have to tell the board that you want to delete something. At least thats how my pro board works.

First, anything can be accidentally done. However, the reason why I asked is because of have a proboards msg board too for my site, and you can easily alter something accidentally with proboards. The delete button is so close to the update button. I just think that if there was going to be damage done by a so called "hacker" it wouldn't have been just one forum deleted. It just logically doesn't make much sense. However, I could execpt the idea that it was accidentally done, because as an admin I've done it myself to other topics, but it doesn't mean I'm a careless admin since it was an accident. I don't know how your proboard works but I didn't have to tell the board anything when I change my forums around?

yea but just remember a hacker also altered Ritchie's prifile last week and there were a lot of things done on Abs one as well.

Ok, if your memory needs to be refreshed...that person who did whatever to the Abs board...didn't delete any of the forums. That was just a personal attack to the admin and mods which is why they were deleted. It wasn't an attack on the board so they didn't delete any of the forums...so why come to this board and delete a forum when they could do so much more like on the Abs board. That's all I wonder about!!! Plus, if your going to use the term "Hacker" I suggest looking it up...because it doesn't even go under the catagory of what is supposively done the boards. I personally don't really care, I just wanted to point out the idea that it could have been a mistake on the admins part, but rather blame somebody to cover up. Its only natural being human and all!!! But continue fretting over something that can't be changed. It's up to you...or you can make more topics!!!! Please oh Please, don't twist my words. It's just an opinion, and my curiosity. I have a tendency to question all possibilities before jumping to conclusions. I just don't take the word of one person!!!
