Hey, is it possible to remove the Image verification underneath EACH post for me?
It's hard to read and it sometimes takes multiple tries.

I think I'll write BNA once more just to ask a final 'verdict' regarding D3World.
If he's not planning anything else I'll try to get some traffic here and let's see if we can get this community up and running.

I saw the domain is still registered though. The last info I got from BNA was this:

QuoteI only got a ten minute warning by the host and that exact moment I was getting a root canal treatment.
Can't say which one in this second was more painful - losing 14 years of work or having someone poking a nerve.

Due to the ModWiki bust up I could neither download the MySQL DB for backup nor upgrade the server administration software.

I believe the server got compromised through an outdated Plesk control panel and they used it as a zombie for a DDOS attack.
As soon as the hosting company got notified they just pulled the plug - which of course is the only thing they can do.
So I cannot get to the server at all and they don't want to send me 150GB or put it somewhere for download - for now.
D3W is just 400 mb or so, but it needs to get weeded out from the rest of the mess.

Since a DDOS was the culprit there is an almost zero chance they wanted to screw the DB's up. Zombies are only worthwhile for as long as the owner doesn't realise where the extra computing power goes. This makes me very confident I can bring back the server soon in a clean state.

I don't know Databases as good as you do, but I feel confident to be able to find the d3w_ prefixed tables - and that's all there is in terms of weeding out... For ModWiki, I don' t know. I'll most likely need your help give the original registrar (ice heart) isn't overly approachable or accessible - this is not meant to be read as uncooperative, unfriendly or hostile - quite the difference.

I'll put a message up on my Moddb profile pointing here for now, perhaps that will get some of the posers back here.
Perhaps we can find contact with ice_heart the original owner of the webspace for Doom3World.

What happened?

I have been in contact with BNA! up until around 4 months ago. He mailed me, swearing the board would be up and running 'soon' but I haven't heard since. Just found this board, but not many posters yet I see.

Anyway, I'll be checking in now and then. In the meantime, anyone have some more info on D3World and what happened, besides there was a DOS attack?
