Yes...the site was hacked. I had a long day at a benefit for Linda Gebar's two children, one-time manager of the Blackeyed Susans, who died recently and have spent the evening trying to fix it. I can't seem to log in under the old login, don't know if anyone can get in or not. I also can't access admin currently but am feeling a little weary so I don't think I'll be looking much further at this until tomorrow.
Why anyone would bother with stuff like this is a mystery to me.
Anyway. Back for the time being in some shape or form.

I'd offer a theory – centred around whoever it was being some sort of braindead inadequate who lacks the nous to have a go at something offering a reasonable challenge – but it would probably only make them more likely to do it again. Oops.

wondering if the absence of the image galleries is to do with the hack (what a hassle Graham, after playing the show), or changing the content? (or neither?)

Well done, graham, for restoring this place. The hissing snake didn't have much to say for himself.

Thousands of sites have been hacked by those guys, ostensibly to point out the inadequate security displayed by said sites.

You need this guy Glee. Make it collar, no football colours or trainers too. Standards and that.

The name of your guy (Yoravinalarf) sure sounds a lot like Harald Vanherf, Cass! Are you sure you want to get this man on board on a permanent basis? Cheesy
