SOLVED Brief Outage Friday May 6, 2016 - 10pm - 1am

[Halo]

Some idiot tried to deface the entire server by hacking into the underlying operating system. They succeeded but instead of defacing websites, they defaced the server console. So the element of fear and scare only affected me and not the thousands of website visitors to this server daily.

Fortunately we use something called BACKUP and restored and fixed everything.
Sorry for the downtime, site was down for a few hours. Some forums were broken this morning but that was fixed.

We await the snarky, insulting comments from the freeloaders below. Thanks!
