I don't want to argue with ya Ray but I do want to clarify that you took my post slightly out of context. Yeah, clearly, TPTB did make posts on FB/Twitter. I was arguing the position that said posts didn't actually convey new and useful information beyond what anyone could already see when one tried to connect to the site(s). In other words: "We're down. With no ETR."
Anyway, that's a quibble. I found out about the information I deemed relevant (you were hacked, how serious was it, etc) by venues other than your PA channels. Regardless, I'm glad you guys did A) decide the forums were worth restoring and B) did so. Thanks for what you do, even if I was claiming CGL's official announcements weren't helpful in informing us about what was going on.
