Default What happens when a forum is hacked?
If someone hack a forum that's hosted on Forumer, what happens next?

1. Forumer make routine backups of our forums and therefore your forum will be up and running again in few days?

2. Forum make routine backups but they won't restore your forum, because the backup has to be applied server-wide, and will only be used when there is major hack on a certain server on Forumer (Like what happened with server 1)?

If it's #1, then great.

But, if it's #2, then that's terrible, because Forumer doesn't allow us to backup our own forums, and in the same time they don't do that themselves, so we're left to the good luck that some hacker won't hack our forums.

I need answers please, thanks.
