It's unfortunate that I have to announce this, but I figured you'd all want an update anyway.
Recently, the RPC was hacked. As a result, everything was purged by the hacker (forum posts and the entire wiki). It was restored, and then hacked again by the same individuals. Hence the reason it's been down for so long. Please note that your passwords are safe (they're encrypted, meaning even I can't see them). But if you feel the need to be extra safe, you can certainly change them.
Due to the hacking, the forums (and wiki) had to be rolled back to their most recent backup. That means any additions/changes to the wiki and any posts from the 3rd and onward were not saved. This also means new registered users from before then need to reregister. I apologize for this inconvenience. Please feel free to repost anything you may be missing. Due to some updated files, certain tiny parts of the site may be partially broken as well. But these will be fixed asap.
It is always encouraged that users have backups of their wiki profile and/or story posts in a text document on their computer. There's no telling when things like this can happen and even though backups are constantly made, the luck of the draw can translate to several days worth of content being lost.
Numerous security measures have been added to the site to ensure it is more difficult for hackers to make these attempts in the future. In addition, our server host (Hostgator) has access to the attackers ISP address and their footprints and have been aggressively looking into the matter.
Again, I'm deeply sorry for this major inconvenience.
