Some of you might be aware of the hack attack at Ezboards where the TBPI Group messageboards are hosted. Every messageboard hosted there has been affected (100's of thousands) including ours. We have lost well over 7,000 posts, all fora have been emptied apart from one which has 6 posts left, and even tho we are being told that the Ezboard staff are doing all they can to restore as much data to the boards as they can, after 9 days, my gut feeling tells me that we are not going to get anything back from their restoral attempts.
Because I believe that we are quite frankly scr*wed, I have decided to try and search for our data via search engines and any other means open to us. A lot of the threads are there in various search engines, Google being the main one and I have managed to retrieve many threads and posts from there.
The other place where posts and/or threads may be stored is in Internet Explorers cache, (history file)By default, this stores every webpage visited up to a specifis time e.g. 2 weeks.
I am asking if anyone who posts here has also recently looked at the pages on the TBPI Website to look and see if these are still accessable in their history folder. It is a simple process to extract them and I have posted details on how to do this on the TBPI Group website in the Temporary forum. http://p072.ezboard.com/fadultswithbrac ... D=18.topic
We have so far managed to find many posts using this method, and I will use these to rebuild the messageboards as and when we get the go ahead from Ezboards that it is safe to do so.
Many thanks in advance for this..I'll post and let everyone know how it goes...
