    I really can't belief after Forumasion it would happen again but then to advertise hotspot by the same people! Tanya and Olivier, I find this very sad, advertise hotspot was one of the best forums I know of its kind. I think it all happened yesterday, I got on and was quite shocked

    Surely they would just restore the posts from their daily or weekly backup right ;)

    If they had that option, alas no. If I where the owner of that site I would be kind of depressed. Losing 50 000 posts is not something you quite forget.

    The site it seems is open again but as you notice not much going on, maybe the site will recover maybe it will die.
