It's all par for the course when i restore a forum. I check all these things. That's why i ask for the email account on here to match the one that created the forum

Oh, ok. Thanks Craig, you've been a big help. I will pass on the info to Auburn and hopefully we can resolve this issue.
So what about taking the site off of maintenance mode and changing the email of 'commandolam' to commandolam@hotmail.com? Can you do that for us right now or do we have to wait for Auburn to do it?

Main admin present! =]
Craig, would it be possible to get the password pmed to me? (the other option would be email, but naturally that might not be a safe option of the email was also changed)

This is both frustrating and embarrassing...
We managed to get the forum back up. I took it out of maintenance mode, changed the admin password - changed the email attached to the admin account, and even changed the password of the new email I attached to the account.. ..but now it's been hacked again.. -sigh-
Is there any way the proboards support staff is able to see from what IP the command to delete the forum came from? I should have checked the security log myself.. *regret*
help?! ...this is dragging on far for too long. What defenses does proboards have against scripts that can crack passwords? Is it impossible to do that to proboards - meaning it had to be an error on my end?

Do you share a computer with anyone else? At this point the best guess is that someone used your computer to do all of this.

Hi, The IP addresses associated with the previous removals of the forum are different from one another. One of the IP addresses leads to a registered member of the forum, while the most recent deletion is different from the first (probably a proxy). To rule out the email address entirely, Auburn, can I have you create a new email account on one of the free providers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc). Be sure to use a unique email username that's nothing similar to ones you've used in the past. Once that's setup, change your password here on support with something completely random password (open notepad and bang on the keys for a moment until you reach 8-12 characters, and then copy + paste that into the password fields if you must) and before clicking "modify profile" button, also change the email address on your account here to show the new email account you created (making sure to have it hidden as well). Once you've done these two, post in this thread and let us know so we can change the email associated with the admin account to that new one that no one else should know about

Thanks, the forum is back online. Check your PM here, and the new email account for the activation link Edit to add: It looks like they've removed content from the forum. Just wanted to let you know that we have a backup of the forum from August 14th that we can rollback to if you would like. This would basically bring the forum back to how it was on the 14th of August. Since we do weekly backups, your forum is due for a new one sometime tomorrow, so if you'd like to do this restore please let us know soon

I don't think we did anything after August 14th since the forum was down most of that time so it shouldn't be too big of a setback.
If a new backup is done tomorrow, (or later today in my time), please hurry PB Support staff.
