WTF i had way more then 800 views what hap plus i had way more pictures and info in this thread?????? after doing a lil research this is what hap.
An SQL injection attack hit our server early in the morning causing alot of our posts to be overwritten and the site was then redirected. As a result the complete backup that we have is from 20-2-2012 and this is what we had to restore from. We were able to however reimport all the users that have registered in the past month back into the system. But I regret to inform you that the post and threads are not recoverable.
Although we have removed the lines of code that opened us to this SQL injection it pains me to say that we lost a month out of rollitups history and I only ask that you bear with us while we recouperate.
Now you may be asking why we only had a backup from Feburary. This is a good question, with a site such as ours data is our friend but it can also be our enemy. We do not like to transport our live data through the lines of the internet for just this reason, so when we do backup our date we make sure that we only get ther pertinent information from the files before we shut the doors and lock them again. However as you can see this is a double edged sword.
As I write this letter our admin and coding team are putting together safe guards from this happening again.
I would ask that all comments and questions be limited to this thread only rather then being spread out through out he forum.
Once again I do apologize for any inconvience this has caused you and we hope that you still hold us in high regard and trust.
Best Wishes,
Rollitup
