Well, if you're like me, you been without FU. :bawling:

There was a security breech. We suffered an apache injection that forced us to reimage the server.

But, behind every setback, is opportunity.

We've partnered with a new provider!

ForumUniversity is proud to announce gigeservers (http://gigeservers.net/) as our new provider! :agree: :welcome: :food:

That's about all I've got to say for now. :blush: Time to get busy puttin' this place back together! :out:

I gotta give props to The Prohacker though. Without him, we'd still be down. :love:

Yeah, how can we learn from it?

Personally, I'm glad it went down (and came back up, of course!) because the email is what reminded me to come back to this place and make my first post.
