SirAndy,

You said "Unfortunately unscrambling them is a somewhat manual process that will take more time."

Can I help? If the work is something that you can offload, I'd be happy to spend some hours untangling things.

George

Thanks for the offer. I had several people contact me with the same question (thanks to them too btw.).

This is a rather crucial step that requires in-depth knowledge of the site code and database and how they are interacting with each other. It would most likely take more time to get someone up to speed than it would for me to fix this.

The real problem is that i have a day job. And a brand new one at that. So my time working on the site is somewhat limited. But i'll get through it.

In fact, i'm planning on rolling out some major behind the scenes improvements that have been sitting on the shelf since 2015 (yepp, you read that right) that will help ensuring that the site will be up and running for another 20+ years.

Thanks again Andy
You have but to ask if any we lessor mortals can lend a hand.
I doubt you will find a soul here who would not step up to assist if we can.

Targeted attack I hate to wonder who might've done it.

Thank you Andy for all the work to get 914 World back online.

Despite the hack, it's good to know that you'll be able to make the improvements you've wanted to for awhile. Thanks for straightening all of this out and helping us air out our mental issues!

Every morning I wake up and click on 914world in the hope that life is back to normal... In the words of Joni Mitchell, "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'till it's gone", and I think few of us really appreciated just what an incredible resource the forum is until it went away.

Thanks for all your hard work. It is REALLY appreciated!

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is to be gained by these actions? Does someone benefit financially? or just people being people

I'm kinda curious on the motivations too.

My inital thought is that since it coincidentally came right after we bumped the "donations" thread, that maybe a hack would reveal how to get access to the PayPal account (assumption of same password and no MFA). Then fark up the forum to cover their tracks.

But taking the time to hack a boutique automotive website just to fark it up? Seems like a total waste of time. OR MAYBE IT WAS THE 911 GUYS!!!!

Evil people do bad things. Who knows why.

Best of luck on this Andy, we’re all rooting for you!

We could send the boys over and get them straightened out once and for all.

There's no way get someone's password, even if you had direct access to our database. That's because we don't store them. Never have.
