Wow.
So, here's the jist for anyone too apathetic to click the link:
-Hackers exported emails and usernames. It's reccommended you change your password even though it seems they didn't get them.
-Almost the entire social section of the forums was deleted by them. The last backup was in March.
-They're going to restore what they can of the forums to an archive and then rebuild those sections to contain new posts.
Sooo... Be glad the Nexus moved!
Also - and this may be problematic - since we moved forum in April, all traces of us having moved to a new forum will be gone. Since it will be pushed to an archive as well, we will also not be able to post there, I imagine. So we've just lost our main source of new users permanantly, unless we're somehow allowed to post a Nexus Recruitment thread or something, but I doubt that, or unless a lot of intrepid users somehow figure it out and find our site.

I'll see what I can do when CF forums come back. Also, I have to agree with Shaad in that your drawing is very aesthetically pleasing.

I don't think there's anything you
can do. I mean, we're a seperate entity now, and I think the only reason we were allowed to post our forum there was because there was still an open link to those forums in the form of our clan thread.
The admis are reasonable people, I'm sure they'd allow a thread for recruiting new members.

Or at the very least, a thread saying "Hey, cuz of the reset we're just reposting that we've moved if anyone would look for us"

Lol the same admins who told us "we do whatever we want and don't have to justify it, we only do because we're nice" right?
Oh joy, we're raging against the admins again are we? I guess I'll just sneak away until this discussion blows over again.

What the hell? Backup only from half a year ago? Someone needs to get fired.
Also, who hacked it? Do CF know at all?

Alright, we may need a new recruitment method. The CF mods only tolerated our recruitment presence, and might not allow it again. We need to be prepared for that.

What would you suggest?
Reddit offers a fairly immediate solution but not a long term one. /r/starbound is run by chucklefish so if they don't like us on the forums they won't like us on the subreddit (exactly why company run subreddits are a bad thing). /r/furry is already basically our demographic but...well we'd be inviting trouble.

Maybe the best idea would be to make clans/guilds/alliances/whatevers in other games, maybe people would look things up if it got enough renown. Especially if it's a PvP game or something.

Yes that's right you can make toast with your PC.
I... kinda want that now. Like, alot. Get me an iced-coffee machine to replace my monitor, too. Or something like that.

Upon further investigation there are some blogs hyping it up but the listed seller doesn't actually offer them. Could be a prank that some folks took too seriously.
Maybe. Maybe. But I still think that would be great.

You can however actually turn your empty drive bays into storage drawers.

That'd be useful, I suppose. Put your USB and SDs in there, or maybe even *snickers* floppy disks.
