Thank you so much Shawn and respect to @Aberforth for sticking around despite this :) I had absolutely no idea that this had happened but I know that I wouldn't want to be in the admin's situation right now. Hopefully this'll all be over quickly.

#BlameSreeya'sHusband

It's an amazing feeling to have helped played a role in bringing the site back. For a little bit there, we honestly thought we'd lost a lot, but Shawn was able to bring it back. I couldn't be more proud of him, and I know that he recognizes how important this place is for me. He was at this all day today since 8 am. Thanks everyone for their appreciation and support.

Hope to see everyone getting back to some happy rping (or dying if you're a Moff lolol)!!

Have you told him of his pending sainthood, Dear Site Owner?

I will echo everyone's sentiment, and what I have expressed on Skype. A MASSIVE thank you to our new god Shawn, and of course @Sreeya for having the good sense to marry him :).

@Aberforth, if you need any legal help please don't hesitate to reach out.

Sainthood requires 3 miracles. The miracles we have so far from Shawn:

-A yoda-species character in a dress
-Restoring SWRP

I'd argue that restoring SWRP counts as two. He didn't just restore it, he managed to restore all of it.

Oh dang, that really sucks. You're an awesome dude, @Aberforth. Even before you were on the job, you brought us the Holy Grail Google Fonts again. Far as I'm concerned, you're already a living legend. Hope everything turns out well and you stick with us.

As for our good cyber-Messiah...

Shawn... a man they call Shawn....

He made us secure and he restored the site,
He took what was wrong and he made it all right,
Our love for him now, it won't soon be gone

The hero of SWRP, the man they call Shawn...​

Honestly, I'm not surprised HackerBee did it. We were playing Overwatch most of last night, and honestly, she was being a terrible Mercy. I mean, she's always been a shitty player, but last night she was really waffling the heals. Then she said she had to go to bed, which wasn't unusual considering she works early in the morning, but I knew something was fishy. Now I know why. Then she was yawning too much, really turning into a gremlin D.Va and hamming it up, if you know what I mean. So full of it.

I can see her hunched over the keyboard even now, rubbing her grubby paws together and muttering, 'Those SWRP jerks, I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling cyber security kids'

I'm glad she got banned. Never trusted her. We're better off. Thank you for putting up with us, Abe.

Your post is dripping with sarcasm.

Her IP address was logged in the database as this was happening. She didn't cover her tracks.

If you're just going to be sarcastic and suggest we're lying, just leave.

I do appreciate all the support everyone has shown me and continues to show me. Today has been very stressful, but everything is under control and I shouldn’t suffer any lasting consequences.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of safe online behaviour: be mindful about what you share online and enable two-step verification wherever possible. You never know who you can thrust. Thank you @GABAroo , @Brandon Rhea and @Sreeya for the professional manner in which you handled everything: I was really impressed. I would also like to thank @Shawn for having our back: knowing someone as qualified as you was working to recover everything really took a weight off my shoulders.

Finally, I would like to thank my fellow administrators : @Arclight , @Clayton , @Dmitri , @Malon and @Phœnix . That was quite the team-building exercice and I look forward to working with you on the fun stuff.

Hey guys, happy to help! I've met a few people from the site and know how much it means to the community here.

Also, scoring mad points with the wife helps :)

Thanks a ton for staying on with us mate! You're the greatest backend guy we've ever had and it's only been weeks.
