RE Forums Being Hacked
From the "web master" (re-printed from Supra Forum):
Hello all, sorry about the extreme downtime of the site.. The server was in fact hacked pretty good.. No PII personal information was compromised. The server was hacked to inflict a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on a company in Canada. The internet is such a wonderful place sometimes...
We had two options, format the old server and restore from back-up files or have a brand new server built and transfer all the sites to the new box.. We decided it was going to take about the same time so we chose to go with a brand new server.. Either way, moving 150GB+ across any network connection does not go very fast...

One differnce, not sure if this kept me out for longer than I thought, or if it has always been this way, but www.moomba.com does not work, where moomba.com does. Is this a change?

Thanks for your patience all...
USASki1 and anyone else having issues seeing moomba.com with or without the "www" probably is caching the old location in the DNS cache.. Easiest way to resolve this is a simple reboot of your computer.. If your connecting through a business connection this information may be managed by by the network admin and in this case it may take 24 hours or so to resolve..
Welcome back everyone and sorry again for the downtime of the site...
