| How long did it take for the full restore to complete last time hacking happened I wonder? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| If this is the work of a hacker, it's a good thing it happened, honestly. Leaving security holes open even though they are not known or abused by anyone is not a good thing. This is a warning to the webmasters to get your coding straight. Personally i don't get why this keep happening, it feels like the site is cheaply built. It's a large community and you should put more time into making the website secure (if that is the issue here). |
| Be patient everyone, this is site is located in California, as are the admins (probably). It's not even 8:00AM there and the admins (probably) have to go to school or work :) |

I'm starting to get the feeling someone lost the backup, lol. Now that would be a problem. That would be hilarious. And if they happen to delay it because of some other reason then more lose. People are posting new threads and posts, which will be gone once they do the restore. |

| srsly,what is going on?? why this happen so often? nothing can be done about it? so annoying... good job Xinil,ofc,just.. |

Just randomly go on forums and all I see are people's head's split in half, sliced bodies all over the place, eyeballs smashed. Uggghhhh damn I really want to forget that.ZombiePsycho said: So the site got hacked again or something? Yep. Threads deleted from some boards, as well as on clubs. Some have mentioned gory pictures were spammed too. |

| And when exactly,will this be fixed? Another thing,too,how the hell does this guy even manage to hack you over and over?I thought you did something about it last year. |
 |
| Still no restore, eh? |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| Oh no god I hope it's not starting over again, what happened last year. |
| When will things be restored again? :< |

| Hmm this explains alot, thanks. |
 |
| This explains some topics that are lost in the my club. Hopefully the restore will be soon. |
Xinil said: Enough is enough. Everybody prepare your pitchforks and torches. We are going to teach this hacker a thing or two about messing with MAL Me? I'd get a scythe and dice that damned hacker real good... That aside... Your hard work is greatly appreciated, Xinil. I salute your dedication and commitment to having all of this chaos sorted out at the soonest possible time... |
   |
| Everything seems back to working order. Pitch forks your thinking to small I will bring a HK 416 and a with 2 beta mags and a bunch or regular mags, portable Rpg, and a Sig 226 in 40 caliber rounds. Then we will have a really scary mob. Then the hacker will no fear. Don't have to use them. But shows not to mess with our site. Plus it will scare the crap out of him. |
 |
| gues we need to bust out the gundams for this attack on the hacker? cant belive you didnt think of THAT "Setsuna f Seiei" |
| I miss rping here..... |
| Yea, don't worry about it. A forum rollback is going to be very welcomed. |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| So, any news on it? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Knowing that at some point there will be a restore is a real disincentive to post. Of course since the discussion I want to post to has disappeared, it's not like I can do that anyway. Here's hoping the reset happens soon. |

| I don't know if it's just me, or is it MAL having some sort of restore or something that I always get "incorrect cookie" message and getting logout automatically? (and for several times in a row for a day?) I'm sorry, I'm just curious. |

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.11 In opera, it's possible to clean only one websie's cookies: F12 -> site preferences -> cookies -> click "delete" until the list become empty -> ok |
tsubasalover said: The incorrect cookie message isn't with respect to the restore; it's actually security strengthening measures by Xinil and Crave.

But probably not at least for another 6hr since it's 3:30AM in California right now.When is this rollback going to occur? |
| I don't understand. This rollback will essentially make us lose two and a half days worth of posts for the entire forum? Seems like the rollback will get rid of more posts/threads than the attack did lol. |

Goryo said: I don't understand. This rollback will essentially make us lose two and a half days worth of posts for the entire forum? Seems like the rollback will get rid of more posts/threads than the attack did lol. Well i guess they took too much time but still it's better to lose those 2.5 days i believe than old threads and stuff. Going by Kineta's words i guess they were trying to close a few holes in the code before they make the rollback and it took them a little too much time. |
Goryo said: I don't understand. This rollback will essentially make us lose two and a half days worth of posts for the entire forum? Seems like the rollback will get rid of more posts/threads than the attack did lol. the people who remade threads and kept posting things since the hacking only have themselves to blame if they loose their stuff. these hackings have been happening alot this month so they should know not to redo anything until a roll back happens. i would much prefer to have the threads that have been deleted back then the ones that got remade or just added. since the multiple threads that i have lost have been open for awhile now. |

It's actually sad for peoples who wrote stuff and know it's going to disappear. I think there is a method to restore database without dropping current tables. Each thread have unique id, so it shouldn't be problem and duplicate threads can be deleted or merged later. Of-course i'm novice and admin know much about it and if possible then please do it without losing 2.5 days worth posts. |

| Don't worry about losing your recent posts, since "rollback" will never happen. |

| Wait there is still going to be a rollback, lol? I guess I should stop posting so much. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| umm... it's already been two days and no sign of a rollback coming Q.Q |
What happened to the rollback? -.-; Could someone at least give us a rough estimate of when the rollback will occur? I've been checking every hour of the past two days to see if anything happened. |
 |
| I wonder if there is going to be one. |
| Sorry! We've had a problem keeping you logged in. Please clear your cookies, close your browser, and try again to log in. Thanks. Just checked. This happens when your ip changes. This is security measure against cookie stealing. |
| can an admin or someone tell us if there will be a roll back or not. i know everyone is busy uping security and fixing the site. i just want to know if we will be expecting a roll at all like it was mentioned before and when that will be. if there isnt going to be one id like to know so i can remake all the threads that i lost. plus id like to be able to add manga and anime to my list with out loosing them shortly after. >.< |
