Here's hoping Pappocom has good backup routines! If anyone hears word about when things are back up, feel free to drop a note.

They hacked into their site in early January & they promised increased security. I'm not sure what the problem is this time Tarek Back to top vidarino Joined: 10 Feb 2006 Posts: 38 : Location: Haugesund, Norway Items Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 9:39 pm    Post subject: OK, I'll just happily assume that they have a decent backup system then, and dig out a fresh can of patience. The thought of losing all the reference information in the forums was giving me a horripilation (look it up) Thanks for the notice.

If we didn't go off-topic, we'd be violating the purpose of the forum. We wouldn't want anyone to antifloccinaucinihilipilificate it, right?

The last time the site was hacked, though he promised increased security, the posts that went missing never returned. In fact, one whole section of the forum including his suggested terms, etc. has been awol since then. Also, he's been trying to sell the domain -- sudoku.com. I think there is at least some chance that all that material is gone for good.

No, I think Wayne & Scott are too professional for that. Anyhow, the Players' Forum is back up now.
