Jan Still's Website Badly Damaged

Jan sent me this e-mail, he said to pass it on, so I figure posting it here would be a good way to disseminate the message...

Here it is:

"Fellow Collectors and members of the GERMAN LUGERS, CENTRAL POWERS & AXIS
PISTOLS Forum www.Lugercollector.net

Our Forum has been hacked and the damage may be complete. Apparently this
attack was directed at our boards and only our boards. Collectors from all
over the World have poured their expertise, comments, and photographs into
this site to make it the best in the World. This destruction breaks my
heart. If anyone has any information as to the hacker that would destroy our
work please come forward.

I talked to Tuco last night and the site will be up and running again in
spite of this destruction. WE WILL BE BACK?

means of communication)"

"We might have a serious problem here. It looks like someone got into
the database and really screwed with the system. I am going to have to get
some outside help to look into this and assist me. It appears they altered
the database and erased it. If that did happen that means everything on the
boards- posts - membernames - you name it - is GONE and maybe for good.
This was directed at your boards and only your boards. Again I will update
tonight or tomorrow when I know more. What a pain in the butt! Someone had
an issue with you or just happened across the site and decided to raise
hell - Brent"
