Title: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: shawn o on Wed, 18 July 2012, 15:26:11
Thanks for everything everyone has done to get the site back up. I don't have a clue but I imagine it wasn't easy.

That is all. New site is a bit bright. Can someone make a thing to make it look like it used to be?

Triple that! Oh now I just sound silly.  But it's good to have geekhack back...

Welcome back...
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Those dreams have remained and they've turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya, back here where we need ya.

Not sure how many here are old enough to get that though...

I'm pretty surprised this all happened so fast. I'm also glad GH seems to be back.

I imagine approving posts will happen pretty quickly, but I wouldn't make any judgments on that until everything is back/done/finished.

I like the small font options, but not the post editor thus far.

Thanks for getting the site back on line.

Currently I cannot see the Classified or Group Buy forums though... is this an item that is not turned 'on' yet? <-- never mind, they appeared for me after posting this...
Title: Re: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least one - but at this point, all the theme songs of the era have kinda blurred into the bassline from Barney Miller.

Couldn't care less about the Graphics here.  JUST as long as you are here and running.

I feel like an addict that has just got his major fix........now everything is so relaxxxiiinnnggggg.

I couldn't care less about the world right now.  After all, Geekhack is now here.  It's a very pathetic life I lead here.

Title: Re: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: DanGWanG on Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:39:09
One thing I will say about GH being down, is that I've learned to appreciate this site more than ever.  Having a place to call home is a privilege in this case.  It opened my eyes to see other communities but none felt as good as GH.  Glad to see everyone back and doing well :)
Title: Re: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Wildcard on Thu, 19 July 2012, 14:41:20
Where did the wiki go? And what happened in general cuz I seemed to missed the whole thing...

The site was hacked by a group of a-holes... so it was redesigned from the ground up to be faster and more stable using the Simple Machines forum software vs. the previous vBulletin forum software. A lot of work still remains... You can check more details and some of the history of it over at deskthority here (http://deskthority.net/geekhacker-refugee-camp-f30/geekhack-updates-t3019.html)

Same kudos from me.

I made the monumental blunder of wrecking my computer (deleted the partition on C:\ it was very late at night and I was doing maintenance on a bunch of old hard drives laying around, totally stupid and careless on my part .... ) about the same time that geekhack.org went down for the last time.

Actually, it probably did me a lot of good to go cold turkey for a while.

Massive thanks to all you guys who put the pieces back together.

Love, Harry

Were you able to recover the partition using testdisk or other tools? I'm continually amazed at how much date can be recovered from a drive.

I'm using the nostalgic theme, though I do think it can be improved upon. I just like darker themes.

Ideally, it'd match my current openbox config: grey-on-grey low contrast. I think it looks simple, elegant, and fantastic. Grey is way more classy than white or black.

Nice to see GH back. I'd just bought my first Poker and was itching for inspiration on how to mod it.
