Dubai Forums restored. May 18, 2005
Yesterday DubaiForums.com was hacked.. The hackers messed with the
database thus General Chat Forum was erased.
We had to restore the database from the 12th May backup, so all the
messages that were written after May, 12 are lost.
We are tracking the hacker's IP now.

I'm very sorry for what happened.
Now DubaiForums.com is updated to the latest version and is much more
secure.
