I am here too to help out if you need to twist service provider hands for backups by law they have to do automatically, which someone must have asked them yes? Anyway, if nothing is possible lets just get back to normal and post stuff, in a few weeks things will settle. Just make sure every plugin & forums update that is out is updated here (from experience & work, not just saying so). Warm wishes to everyone who helped get things back on over the holidays.

Rather than having to go back and manually adding all the forum plugins and features? I appreciate the work you've put in to get the forum back up and running so quickly. We also need to address how this guy circumvented the security system and patch any exploits in the coding - if you haven't done that already. Link to comment

I'm not sure why there wasn't a more recent back up, I never had access to the database. We're gona try and avoid this happening again. Link to comment

Also, is there any hope of recovering some topics that were being discussed in user-specific forums? Link to comment
