Good to hear he will be back up. Sad to hear he was hacked. Seems the hackers have it in for that place for some reason.

Not sure if it's a grudge.
In the past it's been the Bots trying to insert spam in the PN .php code,
and I think it's because the PN scripts are an older version that is more easily violated than the newer php which has better security.

Maybe all else fails, creatively re-write those pages to indicate the latest php so that the old php doesn't appear in search engine results.
Else, get Google to not show results for old PHP sites.

That's why we moved to SMF (Simple Machine Forums) from MyBB. Too much spam. I don't like spam! (MP)

I can't blame anyone too much for still being down.
Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday.

Checked PN yesterday and got this screen instead of the '404 not found' from before. Does this indicate some kind of progress?

EDIT: I'll be damned! The shot came up after all!

Hey! You're right. Those files were completely gone last week.
I also found out that if you use www.pinballnirvana.com instead of http://pinballnirvana.com , the files index does not appear.

But by using http://pinballnirvana.com ,
I did grab this link, heh-heh.



...unless I used the www. URL last week...

Some of the "index" files were last updated on Feb. 8th and 9th, 2013,
so there is hope after all, but the vandalism must have been extreme.
