If everything was working..we wouldn't see an empty board.
 If this reply goes through then that means this whole entire board is in phase 2 of a 5 phase restore process. Mike and I would appreciate it if no more Posts were made until the restore process is complete, as ezboard has stated that they are unsure if they can restore old data with new data if we keep posting. They say it's fine BUT they won't be sure until the entire process is complete. So to be safe we prefer no posting. To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings. It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

What is the status and timing of the restoral process?
Im pleased to announce that almost all servers have completed the first three steps of the restoral process, and we plan to start the final two steps on a server-by-server basis later today. Based on our testing, we expect boards that were active at the time of the attack to see a significant amount of data restored during these final two steps. We anticipate that the final two restoral steps will take a total of seven to ten days to be completed. Individual servers will be restored throughout that time. This means that you will see your board/server restoral sometime within that period. We are in the process of acquiring additional servers in an effort to accelerate this process. Please be aware that the final steps are the most computer power intensive, and you will notice at least moderate slowness on your server when it is being restored. We will not respond to requests to have your server restored first, and cannot restore an individual board on a server. To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings. It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

ezboard Attack Update - 06/14/05
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear ezboard Family, The good news is that we have nothing new to report today the final two steps of the restoral process are happening across the network, and we expect to be on schedule for completion over the weekend. It is important to understand that at this point there is no such thing as a completely restored server even the servers farthest along in the process require some additional work. On a related subject, we are continuing to work on recovering p087 data from this weekends hard drive problem. To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings. It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

ezboard Attack Update - 06/16/05
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Everyone, I have good news today. We can see light at the end of the restoration tunnel. The work we are doing now is delivering great results with many boards getting significant amounts of data back and more to come. Please don't panic if your particular board has not seen data restored in the last day. Unfortunately it is taking time for the restoration process to propagate throughout to all servers in our systems. Set your expectations to seeing data by Monday. Please hold off on asking CS or me to clarify things about your board until next week. This will allow us to focus on getting your data back faster. While we are on a positive note, in the last 24 hours we have located an additional pocket of data that we will work to restore. Restoring this data will commence next week after the current restoration processes are completed. You can consider this a sixth restoration process. You may be asking why we just found this data now, and the truth is that we have been running additional tests on old and new equipment and during one of these tests we located additional data. I can't tell you more about this now and please do not ask for more information. We will tell you what we know when we can. Stay tuned here for information. Finally, we have identified and are testing a back-up and restore process that will be much faster than we had implemented in the past. Remember that the restore processes we are using now are NOT the normal processes. This new procedure means that during the back-up process you will experience much less server slowness and much faster restores. More on this after we have the process nailed down and in production. Thank you again for your patience and we hope that our daily communications and open dialogue have helped you and all ezboard users to better understand what we are doing to get ezboard back to normal. Sincerely, Rob Robert Labatt CEO ezboard, Inc. To be insane is to have a lack of understanding of what one is doing to themselves and others in their surroundings.

ezboard Attack Update - 06/21/05
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, Our update today has one important change from yesterday. We have decided to undertake one more global forum and topic reload tonight. Following that reload, all content/threads/posts/data that can be brought restored will have been restored. We will be following the reload with sorting posts into chronological order tomorrow and Thursday. This activity will be monitored to ensure that it does not create slowness on the boards. If there is slowness on the boards we will have to adjust the process and the sorting process may take more time as a result.

It is a disorder of the mind that prevents remembering ones actions clearly.So if you think you are insane, such a thought is a coherent one that defines you as sane.

Hello everyone,
The final forum and topic reload is continuing to run. Following that reload, all content/threads/posts/data that can be restored will have been restored. We will be following the reload with sorting posts into chronological order the sorting will begin this evening. This activity will be monitored to ensure that it does not create slowness on the boards. If there is slowness on the boards we will have to adjust the process and the sorting process may take more time as a result. We still expect to announce plans for compensation to ezboard Gold communities, and answer other economic questions, this week. Until after those announcements have been made, we will not be responding to emails or posts with compensation questions or demands related to particular communities. Thank you all again. We deeply regret the attack and the impact it has had on you and your peers and we are very grateful for your patience and support. Sincerely, Rob Robert Labatt CEO ezboard, Inc.
