You may have noticed that makestation was out for the whole day today. This kind of downtime was completely unexpected and was out of our control. Our webhost got hacked due to a security exploit that was not even two hours into being publicized before a 15 year old kid took advantage of it and did a lot of damage. It was not the fault of our webhost, as other webhosts have been targeted by the same exploit.
It appears that no data is lost, as the owner of our webhost found a very recent backup for us. I will also assure you that daily database backups are made, so should something like this happen again, we won't lose anything important. I apologize for the inconvenience, and it is unlikely that something of this magnitude will happen again in the near future.
