Popular Post forrestreid Posted May 2 Popular Post Posted May 2 Glad to see the board back too. And could I just say I was pleased to see that the managers of the other main Thai message boards - Moses from Sawatdeeforums and Gaybutton - were offering their solidarity and support (and in the case of Moses, practical assistance) on their boards too while the outage was continuing. Good on them. TMax, ichigo, BjornAgain and 7 others 9 1 Quote
Members Suckrates Posted May 2 Members Posted May 2 Actually, my HOME pc was ALSO attacked by the AKIRA ransomeware virus, and all my files are LOCKED and being held for ransom. I have an appt Monday to have my pc wiped and restored..... however I am told my files will be gone forever UNLESS i pay the ransome. So basically I will have to restore everything, except I dont have any backup....My bad ! But I am grateful THIS site is back and functioning. Latbear4blk, vinapu and jimmie50 3 Quote

I wondered if it was "Trump retribution" for me being so critical and unkind to HIM on this site ? And curious if any OTHER site participants experienced the same "hacking" on their personal devices as I did ? Latbear4blk and floridarob 1 1 Quote
