Gothos

Gothos had some downtime this past weekend, as I was cleaning up after a hacking attack. I managed to get things fixed and was removed from Google’s blacklist, so all is now good and the site is safe. If you visited during the last two weeks of Sept into the first weekend of Oct, I’d recommend running a virus and an anti-spyware scanner on your machine just in case.

I managed to restore all the posts and images, and most of the resources – a few are missing. If you linked to this site or to any individual post your links should still work. I did lose all of the comments and the user list. At this point I’m leery about opening membership back up; it looked like a lot of garbage was inserted via comments. Since this site has functioned more or less as a traditional, one-way resource and not as a collaborative blog, I’m going to keep comments turned off and not allow members for now. If you’d like to continue following I’d suggest you subscribe to the RSS feed or bookmark the site and check back now and again. Of course, you’re always welcome to send me an email if you have questions or comments.

Since I’m essentially starting fresh I went with a different theme for a new look and feel. I’d like to thank my host, Webfaction for their help in getting me through this, and I’d recommend the Sucuri website scanner to anyone owns a site or has suspicions about one you’re visiting.
