On the main page of the forums, I just noticed a banner from HQ saying they are aware of and working on the problem. That's good. Shouldn't be too long now.

I'm not a computer whiz and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night so I'm gonna go ahead and ask what is probably a silly question. On the machines I've used there are 'restore points' so that you can basically turn back the clock on the machine to a previous configuration. Do the servers that the forums operate on have a similar system?
Short answer, yes they probably could revert back to before the issue, but they won't it would not be cost effective.
Longer answer is this is not a single computer it is a network of many (aka cloud) and if important enough it would be replicated to more than one site with fail over capabilities, I doubt this is the case for us.. Besides I'm pretty sure the issue wasn't caused by an equipment failure, more likely by somebody doing something without realizing the consequences. Can't say 100% on that but the symptoms are pointing to that. my 2 cents from a retired ":computer whiz" 😁
This Gunbroker site was updated 19 days ago and say's they're still in Kennesaw, also the Georgia Secretary of State's web site say's it's still a Georgia corporation, I'll find out for sure later this week when I go up to visit a few friends. You very well could be right due to the fact we're having all these site problems lately.

He was also part owner. He had all the controls buttons in front of him. Those are not available to forum staff.
Don't want to step on any toes but I'm not to far from Kennesaw…..want me to drop in and snoop around ? incognito of course. 😆

I don't think our server is that up to date. But it is being addressed.
Did someone leave a virus where they weren't suppose to? I'm not wearing a mask.
Any guess is a good guess. Be careful out there.
It's like, there's something going on,,,
Well, one thing's for sure. This has definitely given us something new to talk about!
You think so or know so……….😀

I could be the poster boy for that Ditch-Runner. I've been walking around aimlessly, bumping into walls, and mumbling to myself. 😉
I do all that on a normal day!
