Description of problem

I tried to go on vgchat.forumotion today and it turns out it's all different. All the members are gone and there's only a few forums left and the layout has all changed. I was a moderator of that forum too. I believe the forum was hacked today. I'm not sure. I was on it yesterday or earlier today and it was working fine, up until around a few minutes ago when I found out. Can someone really check to see if that's going on?

Have you contacted the founder of the forum?

The founder is nowhere to be found. It was replaced by some member named Texan, or I don't know if that was probably a ban evader looking for revenge. We had some on that forum, so I am skeptical of it.

See if you can contact a staff member and ask about it.

I can't even sign in. I know all my passwords. They're all made easy for me. But now I have to wait for some hacker to activate my account and they probably won't. Everyone has been affected. 5 months ago, it was just me and no one knew about it until January, and now another problem occurs again in March.

Wait a minute!  Do you mean login or created a new account?

Login because it turns out my account is not there anymore so then I went and created my old account and it has to be activated. Does that make sense? There were tons of friends on there, but now it's one shitty member. Here's the link to it. The anime picture has been replaced with a full moon: http://vgchat.forumotion.com/

Are you sure that the link is correct?

Yes, I checked it up against an image from the forum I found on Google Images, and it confirmed that that was that forum!

Sorry, but we really can not help a member of the forum with this situation.  We need the founder or an administrator to ask for help.

They'll never show up here.

How do you know that members have been deleted since guests can not see the memberlist?

Because the forum index in the URL says that "the forum currently only has 1 registered user." The only problem with that is THERE WERE MANY!

When was the last time you logged in?

Monday, and I did it to see if my computer and browser were working. Well I think I temporarily signed on yesterday. Then I signed off as usual.

Can we get this problem resolved?

The founder or someone who has access to the AP needs to come here and ask for help.

Like the founder or his brother? One of the administrators told me that they were fighting to finish school. That's the same one and the only one to this day who has ever unbanned me from the forum. What about the left alone moderators? Should they ask for help too? I was never chosen to be a moderator yet because no one made the decision.

If they are a staff member, they can ask for help.

Would you have known if I was staff if I told you I was?

There is ways we can figure out if you are truly a staff member.

How?

No, No, we have are ways.

Don't you mean "our?" I once had a mod status on my profile on April 1, 2016 but it didn't do anything. It was just there for decoration and it only lasted one day and it was that Friday.

We are not going to give out ways that we work beyond the scenes.

Ok I am staff and I just want to see this forum in order.

Well I change my story.

This is very off-topic.  Please use the PM for off-topic discussion.

Well could you help now that I said I was a moderator?
