Hey

My Invision Board (v.1.3) has been hacked 3 times in the last month and several times before that, I've made several attempts to fix the holes that they hack with but not succeeded.

They have deleted my whole database and this time I have no backup. I have consulted Invision Power and was told they would not help me unless I was a licensed customer with an up to date product, The only problem is I can not afford to buy even a yearly license at this point because I am only 19 and renting an apartment with a low paying job in the outskirts of Australia. Just the hosting bill is over the top sometimes.

Could anyone help me out with some donations via paypal or something so I can get a license, even small donations like $5 would be much appreciated as I would hate to see the forums closed for good and I don’t know what I would do without them.

My paypal address is <snip> if you would be kind enough to help me out in this sad situation.

Why not just go for one of the free forum scripts?!

I really doubt anyone is going to send you money when 1) there are free forums and 2) you should have had a backup if you have previously been hacked (or even if you hadn't).

Even with a licence now nothing can be done, Unless your host makes backups.

What i would suggest is scrap the forum, Get SMF and in future make regular backups.

Sorry, no begging please. Use free scripts (there are tons of them available that match the feature set of IPB 1.3), or get a job and buy a license
