Hi everyone,

As you may have noticed, we have another batch of downtime in the past few days.

The DeeperBlue.net server was targetted by a hacker and was successfully compromised, we believe, through the Forums as well as exploiting a base level security flaw in the server operating system.

As such we have had to keep several sites on the DeeperBlue.net network offline (including these forums) until we could make sure the whole server was patched.

There are numerous fixes going on, including a service update of these forums, however the forums are open for business again.

I would like to say that at NO POINT was any personal or private data of any DeeperBlue.net member at risk or made public.

Please bear with us during this period.
