Rapid response.
I love you guys, you helped me back twice now. The site didn't accept my info. EarlG
responded within 15 minutes...both times. I told him I wanted to come home.
Thanks for bringing your rag tag group home.

(83,723 posts)Twice with the hack and once with amnesty.
Yup, I give kudos to the lads, they done good. They also did their homework and checked it twice after the last hack. They protected us and we were back up within hours.
Bravo.

(297,103 posts)So, I wrote to Skinner and EarlG right away asking them why? I got a note back from Skinner saying ..
"Yes, we were hacked. Working on getting everyone back again.
Thank you for your patience and understanding."

I think they're still working on some things.. I just tried to make Skinner's reply an Excerpt and Bold it and it wouldn't work.

(15,512 posts)I saw on Discussionist that you'd both been PPR'd by the trolls so I'm very relieved to see you're back!

(47,465 posts)I was one of those who got that Fox news, or something, and then told that my posting privileges were revoked.
And needed a new password. Worked OK.
And... even before I was accepted I had a jury summon. Sorry, had to dismiss this one right now. Too frazzled. Now I can retire for the night.
Phew..

(23,302 posts)It all went to hell. I had a little come apart in the airport lounge....even my kiddo was concerned. Thanks EarlG, Skinner and Elad. I'll sleep better knowing we're back on track for whatever fresh hell is waiting for us tomorrow. I don't know what I'd do without DU.
