Ok guys, now the .com does not work.
Does anyone have any web skills? I don't care if we go back to a boring 'ol html page, but I cannot have the .com just direct to nothing.
Please if anyone is able to assist, drop me a PM. I'm heading to Florida for 11 days, but when I come back I want to get this fixed up.
Thanks

This is what I've been trying to tell everyone...I have no idea how to fix it. The actual index.php file on the server that deals with the old board is infected as well...

Can you not just baleete everything on the server and start over? You are asking to delete years worth of videos, podcasts and whatnot? That is gigs and gigs of stuff.

I mean is there any reason you can't just delete all the pages for the main site and build new ones? I was under the impression that was the plan anyway.

I've got about 700GB worh of free space on my EHD. Maybe a few of us split up the load and get the entire server's worth backed up?

I mean is there any reason you can't just delete all the pages for the main site and build new ones? I was under the impression that was the plan anyway. Yeah, that was my impression too. It's not like the video and mp3 files are infected or anything. And yeah, I'm sure it would take incredibly long, but still better than reuploading everything. The whole blog is wordpress based, isn't it? There has to be some sort of export / data rescue tool for such a wide-spread software somewhere... Edit: Someone look into this: codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Export_SubPanelThat sounds about right. And it exports the data into a XML/RSS file, so I assume this wouldn't copy the virus as well. Can you still access the administrator panel of the site?

Yeah, so long as we have the old entries for reference, I'm more than willing to help re populate the new site.

None of the files have ever been moved from where they were originally. If we had a template for the old boards, we'd be fine.
I'm ok with getting rid of the layout we have now, and going with something much more basic. My thought is to just get rid of the index.php and go back to index.html
Hell...even if the page says, "Under Construction" and offers links to the forums and to the videos.
It's a lot of work that I'm just not sure how to begin tackling. It is something I want to get completed when i'm back from vacation though.
So, if anyone out there has computer knowledge, let's brain storm together on this to fix the page!
I don't want to see this website die.

Well, I'd love to help. Not really sure how, but I'll try. Haven't done any website related stuff since I was like 15, but whatever.
Have you tried looking into that link I posted, Ryan? Sorry if I'm completely missing the point with that, still not 100% sure if that would even help at all, but it does sound promising to me.

I haven't looked into the link yet, as I'm on vacation. I'll check it out when I get home for sure.

agreed. I would love to go back to the barebones style we had before. A main page, a few things on the side. I would LOVE to see if anyone had the old design.
Where's Loke? I would pay someone to do it now. I'm going to talk to one of my web design friends to see if she'll do it.
I promise guys, I'll be working on it once I get back.
But, in the meantime, Beej has access to everything that I can access. If you guys come up with a quick fix in the meantime, by all means please rock it out. I'm sickened I can't even go to my own .com without being redirected to some other bullshit.
