Default I Thought My Site Had Been Hacked!

For those who are inquiring about why the UnitedStangs.com is down: Well it turned out we were not hacked...as we thought in the beginning. Thank Gawd as we went through this earlier this year and was down for a week. (has this ever happened here?).

It was a software glitch. We have been needing to upgrade for a long time, so we renewed the software license with all the new current upgrades/hacks. Our webmaster is working it and we should have the site up in a 24-48 hours.

Thanks for your Patience.

Yea? But was it due to a software glitch or was the site hacked?

Well the site is back up, but lots of things to do to get it back to where it was...back to what made UnitedStangs.com unique. With the software update, we lost a lot of the personal hacks we had on the site. Heck, we don't even have a front page up. You need to go directly to the forums page: www.unitedstangs.com/forums/

Please be patient with us as we try to get everything up and running again. Its going to take a while.

It was probably a DNS error or something with your server/hosting company that caused the database to fail to load.

I guess things happen for a reason. All the forums are a "go" again. The forums look much nicer and the board is a lot faster now. We still have a few "bells and whistles" like icons to load back up again...as well as the arcade. The homepage is still in the works, but should be up soon. Just giving everyone a update.
