My LEGO Nexus Organization

I have been hearing rumors..
1. That the MLNO is not safe
2. That I said everyone HAS to go to the MLNO.
NEITHER is true. I believe the second one started when MY PRIVATE PM from Rishea was posted elsewhere.
SO:

The MLNO forum was NOT hacked, per se.. The entire forum was DELETED.
No member's account was hacked and no members information was seen.
We lost a year of data because at that time SMF was only doing full forum back=ups once a year.
This will not happen again.
The MLNO is a safe and COPPA compliant forum, and the only staff who can see information are senior admins.
I hope this clarifies anyone's concerns.

In fact in the 4 year history of the MLNO the only time someone's account was hacked was when they themselves enabled access to that account. (Not logging out before leaving public computer or cellphone)


On another note, It has already been a few days, and already I am incredibly tired of all the mud slinging. NO forum has the right to rebuild LEGO Uni. Only Cures does.
MLNO for one will maintain it's sovereignty and identity. We embrace an inclusive community that brings together all brickers in a safe and friendly place.

Every forum is different, and no one has to choose just one. So please, let us just concentrate oh keeping communications between LEGOUni members open, and not which forum is best. I am not in competition with anyone for members. I just want to be able to hang out with my friends.

Well, I would expect a lot of confusion, like someone stepped on an anthill. And we're the ants. We're just trying to self-organize again.

I agree, it would be best if we all take a deep breath, remain calm, and soon things will settle into a new normal.

In the meantime, let's have fun, in a 'constructive' manner...  :)
