    I confess, I hang out there too. Last time I tried to log on, it locked up my pc and had a error message that read "MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER, ziOxbb shellcode?"

    Wonder if some anti gunner got in and added some malicious code to the site...nah thats probably too paranoid.........

    Well according to the chatter over at Beartooth, Larry has a backup available to restore the board. He just has to get over to the guy's house that the backup is stored at. Also in the same thread, someone noted that the same hacker hit a number of unrelated boards the same morning, so it probably wasn't targeted at gun ownership/hunting. Just an a$$hole getting his jollies.

    Just another manifestation of thug-assed criminal mindset--no ability to create or sustain anything positive, so they destroy things around them to assert themselves.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Actually all the information on Gunloads was backed up for security reasons and during this phase the server was running so slow that no one could really connect. Sorry for that.

    If they're going to hack, and I guess that's the reality of the world today, then maybe they could start with the sites of a few anti orgs and of certain dimocrat pols. That would keep the elbows busy and out of our hair and serve a useful purpose at the same time. If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em.

    Larry has the Marlin Owners board back up and running.

    Gunload Master, I guess Marlin Owners illustrates that backups are important. Thanks for the effort.

    Please don't apologize for doing a good job.
