    I was eliminated

    Its been a while since I have been on. upon return I found I have been dropped, eliminated. Every post I had commented on etc. I have been scrubbed. Very disappointed. Had a fairly lengthy post going and a lot of good info developed by my questions being answered. Will this happen again, and is there any way to retrieve my post?

    Look on the front page of the portal for details. The site got hacked and a lot of us lost a lot.

    Ok, Thought maybe it was due to not being active for a month or so. Why does someone go to the trouble to hack a site about aquaponics? Sheeesh. Thanks for your response.

    Re: I was eliminated

    So, nobody wants to talk about how the site got hacked and what "we" can do about it?

    Is it a matter of the phpbb needing to be updated (there appears to be an automatic backup program that could save the database daily offline).

    Do we need to donate some $ to buy an external drive or even a cheap computer that can be left on to accept the backups every day... or find a host that will backup the site automatically?

    The other boards that I have been admin/owner got backed up every day... which is why I was kind of shocked to see that 100 posts I made here were gone. It's not that I said anything "brilliant" in those posts... it's that people are going to go someplace else if it happens even once a year.
    It's all about the fish, dude.

    Gone for 7 days (14 different states, 3000+ miles) and only 8 new posts according to the portal! I'm concerned. What can I do to help?
