it was done by advanced nutrients because of all the truth being talked about their terrible products and their abuse of the first time growers lack of experience.

for a site this big having to roll back to a feb backup thats lam,
daily backups in smysql should be done regardless,hell i know much smaller sites that this that doo em propper regular,
apologieas are all fine but are tottally unecessary if the job had been done correcvlty in the fist instance,
harsh but true u need a better coding team,OR u need the site to be setup better i.e wen a p0ost,thread gets delted all the commenters dont loose ther posts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,again............doggies thread thing any bells?
anyways my 2 cents listen or not but eitherwat a feb backup is tottally messed up

I agree with you 100% IC3M, things need to change before they lose a lot users to this. When I saw that they had to backup from 02/20 I almost choked.....it only shows a "lack of something" crucial.

This is simply not true my friend. Many users received emails supporting the site we were being redirected to. Not PM's.... Emails to their private email accounts. So 'someone' out there had access to the email accounts associated with our RIU accounts.I repeat, it was a REDIRECT HACK.
That means no data was stolen, no IPs or personal info was taken.
It was a basic hack and it happened to a lot of forums.
Now calm down and smoke some weed
I am not worried about it myself as I created a separate email for RIU. I am also in CA growing legally under CA laws. Yes, I realize it's not legal in the feds' eyes, but I'm not worried about anyone coming at me for my 2'x3' closet. I'm not paranoid, I'm not blaming RIU for anything, and I'm not going anywhere else. I'm not saying anything will ever come of some stupid hacker having email accounts other than spam. Just want to set the record strait a bit.
BUT.... to say this was ONLY a redirect hack is simply not true.

at least new users can see how to subscribe to a thread now...LOL!!! That's an upside to this whole thing...
I really miss my like button though. That's how I would let people know I was still there...when I was just too dang busy to post. I've already tried to use it like 200 times

The ones receiving emails probably had the "allow users to send emails" checked or something. Of course I'm sure the RIU admins are working to discover what personal information may have been compromised as well as revising their data backup and incident response strategy.
