To-date we have lost ChessTalk.com and chess-math.org but we could end up losing everything as things are being deleted as I type. We are looking into this now and hopefully we will be able to get up to speed in the next little while. Sorry for this!

We spoke with our provider...they figure everything will be back to normal before the end of the day...keeping my fingers crossed :)

Great.

I see that not everything was hacked unless it is restored.
