Oh dear. Looks like someone hasn't been updating their forum software......

The Advanced Driving.co.uk Bulletin Board is Temporarily unavailable It turns out the Bulletin Board has been hacked by some low pondlife scumbag and has managed to delete all the posts, not funny, and to be honest, apart from some inconvenience, what have they achieved? Pathetic. The UK Police have been provided details of access IP addresses during the period of time, but the likely hood of the person being traced, as well as the fact I believe the person is probably Russian, makes catching this person unlikely. The site will be down for approximately 1 week. Unfortunately I am away on business and unable to work on it at the moment

Opppsss.... if they catch the person then they are looking at some pretty serious charges. Here is hoping that the git is caught though...

Stop web service, restore from backup, restart web service. Sorted in about half an hour.

Or just going via a hacked machine in russia. They were probably looking for a website to tag.

Tag, yes... Perhaps if they can't restore it straightaway they should at least modify the damage to read "Darkmare is a w*nker".
