I noticed it too

I was going to check my usercp before i went to bed and when I brought up the website it said "hacked by abu garbagi" or something like that.

I also recieved a few junk emails that said

from: TinyRC mailer
subject: hahaha
message: Hacked by abu gargbani

I'm glad the site is back on line now, but I too would like to know what happened

oh, that wasn't his exact name, I just couldn't remember so I made that one up (it sounded about right)

BTW, Racer9, did you get my email?

By the way, please do not reply to the message that was generated - we've been getting dozens of messages throughout the day from users who thought they were emailing the hacker - the return address is forums@tinyrc.com - that's us, not the hacker!
