Welcome Back to ClassicOldsmobile!

The machine that previously hosted ClassicOldsmobile was hacked and subsequently taken down. Because of this, it was necessary to set up a new machine in our data center to host the forums.

Since the old machine was hacked, we couldn't simply copy everything over - instead, we had to set up a new server from scratch and start with a fresh copy of vBulletin. We have imported the old forums as well, so all the user accounts, threads, etc. should still be here.

We apologize that the outage lasted as long as it did. On the bright side, ClassicOldsmobile is now running on some very nice hardware, and the machine it's running on is a good deal more secure than the old one.

Am I missing something, or is the whole structure with the vehicle specific sub forums gone?

Do you mean Vehicle Lineup? It's still there as far as I can see.

OK.. I was getting a front page with just new posts. Once I went to the archive and selected full view I'm back to normal.

Thanks for the work to bring it back.

Does anyone know if this happened to realoldspower.com as well? I tried to go there last night and all I got was "server not found".
