I guess this has been made aware of here, sorry I didn't catch the thread before I made the post. http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=59940

I don't have facebook so that eliminates that problem. Sounds like someone is causing troubles on other boards. I hope they don't mess with this one, other then searching the web here and there this is the only other place i go anyway.

Glad we are back up, thought a hacker got us!

My message said... "Server is busy or can't be found."

I wonder why Tnet just can't reboot? It must be more serious.

...Glad you knew where it was.........We would have all been lost...

Wow...glad FMDF is back. A bit ago, all 3 were down--FMDF, TN and Find's.

FMDF and Finds are back up, but TN is still DOA.

Wouldn't it be neat if they found who the hacker/hackers were & all of us members from all the detecting forums got together and took a trip to where ever they are and show them some love

Steve,

We know exactly who the hacker was. His name is Vo The. Unfortunately, he resides in Vietnam. Are you willing to go that far? If so, it wouldn't take too long to find his address in Ho Chi Min city.

Maybe it was this guy?

Maybe if you paid the trip expensive for me, I have a feeling that I might not like Vietnamese food though, I'd have to pack my lunch.

Been there. Once was enough for me.

They are down due to a hardware failure.
