Welcome back to the forum ans please accept our apologies for the recent problems.

It isn't entirely clear what caused the issue, hackers is possible or the recent server troubles had messed something up in the database but the original database for myBB was corrupted beyond repair so sadly, we have to start again.

Backups were kept by the hosts (for me to download them every few days would never work, they were well over 200MB apparently) however these have seemed to be unavailable or also corrupted, but that is another issue.

Due to this all the old threads and member details have gone so you will need to re-register if you wish to still use the forum. A set of guidelines for members will be published shortly which all members posting on the site MUST adhere too.

The full template and general feel of the forum will be restored within the coming days!

Thanks again

thanks for getting things back and up and running - real shame about the database
