Has anybody else been getting database connection errors since yesterday? I haven't been able to get on for a while...

Yeah. We're having _major_ problems at the moment. Our entire MySQL Database has been erased, resulting in more or less complete Site AND Network failure.

Currently Found Disfunctionalities:
+ VendettaWeb Site.
+ VendettaWeb Forums.
+ VendettaWeb Network (hosted sites).
+ VendettaWeb E-Mail System.

As for the reason; we believe it might have been a hacker attack. Our News System has been very vurnerable for such attacks during this period of migrating from Network v0.8 to v0.9, and might very well have been the weak point of the system.

Does that mean the game's gone? Nooooo...

Edit: Oh yeah, Asphy, how much are you guys paying for the dedicated server? I can give you the name of a great hosting company, if you want. 60 a month for managed (behind their firewalls, separate mail server, etc.) with 40ish gigs space, 500 transfer, and all the other fun stuff...

As for your question; Asphyxia owns his servers (main, nameserver 1, nameserver 2). We are only charged for the domain name.
