BattleTech forums hacked

[ECSNorway]

The current announcement page replacing the classicbattletech.com forum:

CLASSICBATTLETECH.COM FORUMS

---

Due to a security breach the forums are being taken down indefinitely
while the damage to the system is accessed. Because of the nature of
this breach it is unlikely we will be restoring a backup of user
accounts as it is impossible to know who's passwords and accounts have
been compromised.


We are currently accessing our options and will get the forums back up
in one form or another as soon as possible. Thank you for your
patience.

The new forums are now up.
Which means that all the old stories and discussions are no longer availible.

Has anyone suggested putting up a read-only mirror of the old database?

Probably quite a lot of people, and I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually.
