i'm not exactly sure what happened, but i have a few theories. the most likely one is that the database was altered or deleted. either our turkish hacker did it (although i personally think that kind of work is too complicated for what his skill set seems to be), or someone legitimately went in and did it. the weird thing is that the actual pages still exist, they just won't display because of the failed connection to the database. if someone, like the webmaster, wanted to just get rid of the whole thing why keep the pages alive?
i hope that someone is trying to fix it. but i couldn't be completely wrong about all this, so, i won't get to excited about the possibility.
the sad thing is that if no one is trying to fix it, i can't go in and get any more threads. there were so many old ones that i never got around to picking up.
