We had problems with the database again, but could restore it without loosing a single post or member. Only all old posts are dated 4th march now.
Seems as if we were attacked. A user ( we know his IP and are taking legal actions now ) was excuting a buggy upgrade.php script that was not deleted although phpBB 2 dev team recommends that. This is a known issue at phpBB2 ( http://phpbb.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6428 ) and we dont know yet if its possible to merge the old backuped database from 27th Feb with the actual one ( we really dont want to loose any posts, we prefer to have wrong post dates ), but we will try.
Please allow me a last comment : The IP we have logged was a French host with fixed IP. But please dont start any speculation now, we kep you updated.
