At least, as far as I can tell, someone fucked over Luke by hacking his website. Ugh.
Sorry, Luke. I hope the data's recoverable. :(

Uh, well, it only seems like a few hours of posts were lost. Backups are cool.
I am keeping log files of errata and new "official" rules that show up in posts though....

there's nothing official in posts!
the only "officials" are those that are available in the dL section of the site.
Everything else is still being tested and is either "recommended" or "not recommended."
Anyway, the site is back up. Seems we did indeed only lose a few hours of posts.
My nerves are fucking SHOT.

I don't get it.
I can vaguely see a the reasoning behind someone hacking Amazon or Yahoo, for the challenge or as a political statement against the 'capitalistic' Internet. But hacking small-time rpg sites ? What's the point ? I just don't get it.
Anyway, Luke, good luck, we're behind you. If there's anything we can do...

Yeah,
unless the "industry"* has come to realise how good BW is and try to supress it.
Love and support Luke.
