We are back...

Hi there everybody.
Seems like we are back...

Sorry for any inconvenience this downtime caused to any of you. I think everybody knows what our situation was like (or it is) so I rather not repeat it for too long as you could see that in the previous couple of days. In a nutshell, some hackers thought it will be funny to delete everything we worked for here.

Knowing that, I will take this opportunity and ask every member - especially staff members - to update their passwords with a long and strong one. It`s best if it is not even a word. Just letters (capital and non-capital), numbers and symbols in a random order. You don`t have to remember it. Just save it in a notepad and copy+paste it if you ever need to log in.

Thanks for reading.

The Staff of Advertise Hotspot.

great to see this place back

This is great!!

Thank god for that.

Fantastic!

Thankyou to everyone who has worked so hard to get things back up and running.

Nice work guys!Thumbs up!

When will you be leaving forumgraduit for a serious host?

Finally it's back.

God I was about to start crying

Thanks guys for sticking with us. It is appreciated.

would never leave here mate

That was hell, he banned me . Well anyway glad we are back.

I have a suggestion for all passwords! Copy and paste Japanese and/or chinese characters in your password and save your password on notepad, or sticky note (sticky note is windows 7)

I think that was to make sure the hacker didnt use your account

Glad to hear that AH is back - don't know what would happen if it was gone

Dumb idiotic hackers. When it comes to being popular thats what will happen. Mine will be changed eventually No wonder when I came on it was empty, well glad to see AH is back!

Thumbs up. It is great to be back!

Great to see AH back. Thumbs up to all for bringing this back again.

Great to see AH back, now put more into securing the forum and everyone change your passwords.

be careful. we don't want to point fingers on wrong people and get them angry or something. it's still under investigation. if you guys have any information that might help us, PM the administrators immediately, don't say it here.

thank you.

Its awesome we are back, damn those who appose us!

Hey guys, i use Google chrome and i try to come on here but it says aw snap and wont work, im using safari atm can some one help me?

It gives me that error but I just try again and works. It may be the connection is not coming well, or you have many tabs, well, if it is similar to what has been happening to me since yesterday, but in my case wasn't limited to this forum, basically anything I tried to open from my email account.

Glad to see it's back open.

ha, I was scared for a second there.

People are refraining from advertising here for now on purpose...

And why is that lostlegend? I see no reason why.

Hackers may see more forums to target.

The only reason this forum and Advertise it (Martin's forum) was hacked becasue there was some motive. Martin called the hacker a name, and I guess he didn't like Joel in advertise hotspot.

He doesn't hack for fun, he does it for some kind of reason

Well, people just want to be safe around here for now I guess. :/

Trust me, people's forums are safe

Alright, let's not bring back this ugly incident.
