Hamstard.com was hit by a SQL injection attack that its old forum code was vulnerable to, the user table was wiped out, and the site is dead. This happened long enough ago that no backups exist.

If any bored Erfworld-fan web developers feel like reconstructing the site from archive.org or something, please let me know through the Contact Us form. (I'll be at Balticon and out of touch until next week, but if you think you can do something like that, just give it a shot.) Otherwise, Hamstard is on indefinite hiatus.

Part of the upcoming Kickstarter project next month will be a complete rebuild and redesign of the website, and if we raise our goal funds, we can resurrect the Great Fuzzy Fat One as part of that initiative.

On the other hand, the war to defend Erfwiki from Chinese SEO spammers has finally started to turn around, thanks to Harknell and Charles, and all the good-guy editors tagging spam. I'll take "problems I couldn't imagine in school" for $800, Alex.
