I'm wondering if the hacker was someone from PETA. Those degenerates would do something like that.  :x

Don't know, but thanks to GB and having the tech know how to get it fixed quickly.  Had me worried for a bit :cry:

I'm still having trouble posting a new topic.  I get a spellcheck error.

We're still not back to 100% recovery yet. The hacker did leave a message to us and it indicated an anti hunter did it. That's not conclusive of course. Matt will try to track him down but a good hacker is not easy to catch or stop. Sites such as this are targets for hackers who hate guns and hunters routinely. Just one of the costs of running such a site.

Matt was out of the loop when it happened last night until after his sales meeting today so it took us much longer than it should have to get it fixed. I was working with the site host tech guys but fixing hacking problems is not their job and they were trying to find server problems not what the hacker had done. Only when Matt got on it did we find what happened and get started fixing it.

We're almost back to normal. We'll shut down Wednesday night for 3 hours or so to finish the repairs and upgrades.

Well GB I hope this is one hunt you are successful on.  These guys think ANY means is justifyied.  They are nothing more than terrorists and need to be hunted down as such.

It truly escapes me how someone can commit such acts and consider it right to do so.  No matter what the cause.  And they call US radicals.

Bill,

If I can be of any assistance I am more than happy to help.
