I would love to see the real IP address of the person who planted the whatever that knocked down the site. I'd like to see whether they are from the cities that our biggest fans are from.....Seattle or New Orleans.

Yeah, I told Betts. She said she'd be working on it.

NOOOOO!!!!!! Why does this always happen at least once every two months? Step up the security, Betts.

Its actually just the forum that is down. The rest of the site is up and running.

Edit: as if this is any consolation.

It's a sinking ship. I still haven't received my basketball that I won for guessing the final record. I've tried to contact the administrator on this site as well but no reply so far :(

Has anyone here gotten ahold of Betts directly by email or phone?

This is a long time for a website to be down.

Good? The only one I've ever been a part of has been okchornetscentral.com which converted into okcnbafans.com/vforum.

Following up, I've e-mailed Max Trueblood, a forum administrator, and he replied that he doesn't know and was about to e-mail me. Last, I've sent an e-mail to Betts, forum owner, to see what's up, no reply as yet.. We're all in the lurch here, and I'd suppose that the problem is another attack, but I don't know. I'll post again if/when I learn anything new.

Hopefully, before then, she will chime in here an tell all of us what the f_ is going on.

No Thunder fan site is the peer of OKC Thunder Fans Forums - Powered by vBulletin (http://www.okcthunderfans.com/vforum/index.php) which has been around since before the Hornets came to town. For the same reason, it has also been an object of attack from one or the other other of New Orleans and/or Seattle people. That said, I have no clue about the nature of the present problem, but I'm not about to abandon the Okc NBA fan board which has been around through thick and thin since October 2005.

It's not looking good,no replies from betts, what's the locker room for? Thought it was a way to contact members in these situations.

Why not just start a thread or two here to pass the time?

I'm not a frequent poster there, more of a lurker, but I like to keep up with various news and opinions there.

So lets get a few started?

I have noticed that. Ever since the end of the season, Betts has been strangely absent from the forum. I hope everything is okay with her.

Unfortunately, we have no way to know what is going on ... not only with the board but perhaps with her, personally. It will work out, I feel certain.

For some reason, when I try to log onto the forum, it gives me a message. I can get to the forum and see all the posts, but I can't get into any of the posts. I saw that someone posted a message saying "Welcome Back", but I'm not able to open it.

I swear whoever is hacking OKCThunderfans knows when I'm out of town. I've been in NYC for almost a week, and wasn't even looking at a computer until I got a phone call about this. So, sorry it took so long to fix, guys.

Glad you're OK. You may not leave town again without permission from the Gang of ... however many.

It looks like vBulletin is gone and it's defaulting to the GoDaddy parked page. If this was a hack, betts needs some security help. STRONG passwords! Don't use ANY of the default security settings/names. There are numerous free sites that will monitor a URL and send you a text when it's down. You might want to look into that, betts. That way it doesn't matter where you are on the planet, you'll know if your site is down. Also, GoDaddy is a great registrar but a lousy web host. I would also remove all of your personal information from WHOIS. Get it registered privately, it's an extra $8 a year and well worth it. You don't want all the Seattle fans knowing your real name and address, which is shown publicly in the WHOIS database.

Forum still isn't up, and so, while we're waiting, here's a fun article to read about the team and what one blogger sees in our future

SLAM ONLINE | Oklahoma City Thunder Season Preview (http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2009/09/oklahoma-city-thunder-season-preview-2/)

I like seeing this:

Everyone on the roster knows this is Durant’s team. They know it’s his city, and if he makes the leap he’s seemingly in place to make, it will quickly become his League.
