Heard it was some of the guys from 4Chan... which seems kinda odd. From what I've picked it they were trying to extort FS for money, under the threat of hacking them. The site was backed up before the hacking though, so they're working on getting it up and running again, once the security loop hole is found and patched up.

It's rather annoying, but that's probably why they did it.

Yeah, well hopefully we can get a little more action around these parts at least during the restoration process.

My guess is they hacked it because it's used so much with not just the forums but the music vault.
From what Tink said, they hacked in through the server, which isn't good. But Solid and Tink should be able to get it back up soon enough.

I say we find those hosers, tie them up and give them to Rev. Winter (aka Winterband) as a gift

ha, yeah I remember on Blabberboard when he had this sig that was like "this website is run by the same serpeants who run the hell spawn known as Firestream" or something to that effect. and then Broc from Eternal Mystery laid the verbal smackdown on him and banned him for all eternity. Im suprised Bro Winter didnt show up here after that.

Aww, I missed the fun on Blabber with him. Although having a site "reset" isn't fun, it was the reason I joined FS originally.

My post count was crippled by alot. Not as much as Grief's was If mine gets reset, there is little chance I'll remain at the head of the pack, just don't post half as much as I used to.

What a shame... I wonder how much it would cost to get a new server, or webhost?

You know, it was arguing with the complete idiots (seroiusly, polygamy is Biblical? what THE??) in the theology forum there that got me really interested in studying theology in the first place, which is actually why I am currently at bible college doing my M.Div...so in that sense I do owe Firestream a lot...even though I was only on there for a few months.
