I `ll take care of Brainbox. The loser is probably getting his jollies right now but according to one of my friends who speaks computereese this is the work of a real amatuer.

Excellent work, the best reply for thjisi guys is making the site work as soon as possible and you did it, the thanks are for you.
 
It must be frustrating for them to place "The hgame is over" and see the site working the same night.
 
BTW: There's a patch for defacers, I guess the server must ´provide it to you.

Almost 200 entries have been fixed now, but that means we still have about 400 to go....

It`s good to "destroy the Hackers to Bits". I can`t see why some people dedicate their time to try to destroy the work of  others. Those  "Steve Hackers" should be punished legally. Angry

Although the evil axis of deformed trolls and impotent imps did their best to wreak havok on the prog kingdom, they were no match for the invincible m@x that slew them with a single wave of his mighty sword!  Long live the protector of superior music!!!

They'll all be fixed very soon, thanks to MikeEnRegalia's ingenuity.  Many have already been done.

It's too fresh to show up in Google finds - M@X can generate it from the database I expect.

EDIT: removed fix information. a list of problematic entries is now available for collaborators.

I've tried searching for (Rename me) but didn't find anything.
 
Damn, that's a great title for an album btw.

It would be best if M@X could come up with a list of the damaged albums. Discography Edition and Errors & Omissions can take it from there - involving the appropriate people for missing information where applicable.
However, I expect M@X is trying to restore as much as possible from backups and database history first - to lessen the amount of albums that need to be fixed manually.
 
There is a list,I just am waiting to hear if I have permission to post it in the CZ.
 
I am fixing the Prog Metal albums now,because I have all the necessary info on them.

However there are still problems with the graph of the reviews and the relevant table (times done not respect of given transmission, I believe).

I would say that it has been the case of to do in manner that who it introduced the album that it lost the data it can have access to all the given to reinsert to reinsert them. 
 
It is only a my idea but I believe is the better one.  It will be a large one for M@X and companions of the planning but, to my warning, is the most secure (and then is able always to be a function to do to remain fixed). 
 
Naturally one e mail with links should be sent in automatic to all those that they should do the corrections!

It seems things are back to normal again...
 
OH FRABJOUS DAY! CALOOH! CALAY!
 
What a relief. Great, great job M@x.
 
Now, I guess we should start a new thread in Help Us Improve The Site section to undo the damage done to the new album entries as much as possible.
Percussion, sir!
