YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« 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...

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.

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.

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 :)

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
