Default Drastic News...

This is our current homepage (http://www.thelyceum.org/)

==============================================

I am sorry to have to inform you of this, but a certain individual (soroka) deleted the database...

Many efforts are being made to correct this problem, but as yet, we have had no solutions...

Fade and myself (hellsatan) have contacted the hosting company, and gotten support from the vbulletin.org and vbulletin.com forums, but we have still found no solution...

The Lyceum Temporary Forums - XMB Board

We are sorry to have to do this, but I have setup a Temporary XMB Board for those of you wishing to post at The Lyceum...This board will be updated as regularly as possible...

We shall try and keep you updated...

Satan and Fade

==============================================

This is awful...This guy got given money, a liscence and friendship by Fade (the Owner of The Lyceum), and then he turns round and delted the Database!!!

What do you think we should do?

Satan

Be careful who you trust in the future. That's exactly why I am all for 1 Admin on a board.

Very good advice!

Also you should regularly make backups of your database and upload it to your home computer. There's absolutely no reason to completely lose a database like this. A little caution and preparation goes a long way!

if your database is gone its gone, unless you or the server has a back up. im sorry about that, ive had to go thru similar things about 6 times now (all witch where on my ubb) it was the server and not anthor admin. if you have to start clean your true active posters will always retrun, thats the way mine always worked, then again my forum is over 2 years old :/

We had to...

I tried to re-install vBulletin, but whatever the guy did, he did it good - It kept coming up with errors etc...

See here : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=39885

@smachol & Anime-loo - Fade (The Owner) and the guy who deleted it (soroka) were the only two people able to access, backup and delete the database...

Excellent advice here, too. If you only have one Admin who is allowed access to the database and make backups regularly, then you can avoid things like this happeneing. It's too bad people have to be like that, but they are out there.
