Another forum gets hacked.

I stumbled across this forum while cruising the internet and noticed this thread:

http://www.originaldissent.com/forum...thread.php?t=1

They were completely wiped out!! So, we should be thankful that Apricity is up and running. I know how much we all missed it when it was down!

(The Original Dissent forum itself is not my type of place...I just thought it was an interesting story.)

What a coincidence! I was snooping around there as well today!

What is Original Dissent forum all about, if I may ask?

I couldn't get the whole feel from just glancing at the homepage and they don't have a mission statement as far as I could tell.

From what I can tell, it's populated by angry Libertarians.

That was a really good forum in its day. I remember its heydey in 2005 and 2006.

It had a lot of very smart people, even though it was pretty dry and not very "fun".

They lost all their archives and apparently no one was taking back-ups. Did they ever find out who destroyed their forum?

It had a "Christian-Patriotism" and white-racial emphasis; there were lots of libertarians and "extremely-skeptical"-of-the-federal-government types too. No wackos or deranged conspiracy-theorists. Mostly a cut-and-dry posting style. A very mature and sober forum.
