Gantry definitely exists; I've talked to him on the phone several times. I'm equally frustrated at how long this is taking. On the bright side, I received a bit of good news from Gantry. The cause of the original problems with the forums has been determined. Back in June, somebody hacked into the database and inserted a bunch of garbage characters. This is what was causing the white screen issues when logging in or making a post. These garbage characters also prevented full database backups. Gantry is waiting for his web hosting provider to restore the last full backup, and he is hoping to be able to recover some of the threads and posts that were created since then from the partial backups.↧
