As many of you will have noticed the website disappeared for a day and was giving errors only.

We have been hacked and while we never thought it would happen we had contigencies in place to prevent any loss of data.
So we are back online!

BUT we've had to upgrade our systems to prevent the hack and it broke a lot of things on the way, bottom line is we are currently revamping the website and it's new face will appear in the next few days - hopefully by the weekend. We'll have a lot of new features added over the next week as well. Some of you might be happy to know that we are also changing the way images are uploaded on the website to make it much easier than it was :)

Thanks a lot for your support and understanding!

And we are back online.
The new style is still broken but new features have been added:
-better spam protection (let's hope it holds)
-simple image uploader (no popup, just select the image and click insert)
-videos from youtube/vimeo/etc can now be embedded, just click "embed media"
 
Some stuff was broken on the way and will take more time to repair:
-forums users post count
-forum titles
-forum quotes
-private messaging (now fixed)
 
There will be another downtime (short this time) to get the new style online.
Cheers!

Sick of spammers, registration now requires admin approval.
It usually won't take more than a few hours.
