I got the same thing. I know Tracy is staying in the hospital with her brother so maybe the site went down and they haven't had a chance to fix it?

The chat is still working. No one knows what happened yet.

My hubby looked at it and has an IT firm and he said that the site looks like it has been hijacked, dont get what that means but something about someone has gone in to the server and hijacked the site. He just said depending on the webmaster and the damage that could have been done depends if it can come back or no.
He said something about hopefully they have backups so they can fix it.
Again I have no IT skills so don't really understand it but lets hope Tracy can confirm at some point what has happened

We are trying to get it fixed. Blake is extremely distraught!!! No luck so far, he has sent them about 20 emails.
We do have a very unstable member we had banned who may have somehow hacked it; we are trying to figure this all out. Or I should say Blake is....back to the hospital for me. Just left to go get my heplock changed.
We are going to be devastated if we can't get it back, but I have to believe if we need to start it all over again we will all pull together and make it happen.
Blake is so unbelieveably upset he can't even sleep....

Hi Tracy - Again if Blake needs any help please email me as my Hubby owns a large IT company in London and works with this stuff all the time and decodes and restores hacked sites all over the world, he said he would only be too pleased to help.

YOu guys are awesome, Blake was in tears last night and talking about "throwing in the towel" and he finally came around and started the site again from scratch.
All our content was lost, and we have to make our profiles again. On the bright side, we cleaned out a lot of trolls and fake profiles.
Blake is feeling hopeful today and is so happy to see everyone coming back on and the site functioning again. He is so grateful and relieved.
Thank you everyone for being willing to get through this with Blake. He used to be a high level executive and now is too sick to do anything, and LymeFriends was the only thing he has felt good about creating and doing in the last two years. It means the world to him.
He is so sorry, he feels like a failure and that he let everyone down. I'm can't tell you how much it means that people are coming back on like nothing ever happened; it just reinforces how strong and united we are.
Back to the hospital for me......
