Welcome back to MysteryTwister! (11.11.2006 21:35)
We must apologize to you because of the latest outage of Mystery Twister. Unfortunately we were just another outstanding example for the effectiveness of social attacks. At this point we want to express our extremely thankfull and kind feelings to certain people from our loyal administration who work really hard to reduce their work load.
Since we lost our server (including the backups) and had to setup a new one, we've also lost all your accounts, your forum postings and your stats.
Finally we want to give special thanks to the Horst-Görtz Institute and it's members who gave us really good support and jumped in to finance the new server. The Rechenzentrum of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum has been very helpfull as well, many thanks!
