Does anyone know what happened to the TBAAF web site? I was on there a day or so ago and now today it seems to have disappeared and the voting on their latest contest was to start to today. I tried emailing Lanie and Darren and the email was returned!
One more teddy venue bites the dust?????

I shouldn't worry, Edie .......  I'm not getting anything either but that's not unusual as they are probably extremely busy trying to get everything up and ready on the website for their latest event.  Such things take a lot of preparation and time, so I am sure everything will be hunky dory very soon!

Hugs to everyone!

I've just managed to get onto their website and there is a message which says:

"The TBAAF Awards were due to begin
on the 15th July, we have just
discovered the voting forms
have been hacked and
destroyed. The voting has been
postponed until further notice...  "


Hugs,

TBAAF Urgent Notification 16th July 2012

Hi Everyone,

We have further news in regard to the TBAAF 2012 Awards.

All is not lost lanie has rectified the gallery pages this morning.

We think we have discovered what actually happened.

When KWIK SURVEYS platform http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/07/ples … es-hacked/ was hacked our awards pages which were linked to them were somehow affected too.

"Announcement Like thousands of websites, our service has been hit by a zero-day attack against our hosting control panel "Plesk". For more information please see this article .Engineers have restored enough functionality for you to download your results.

MORE INFO IN REGARD TO WHAT HAS OCCURED

We are now searching for a suitable voting platform for The TBAAF 2012 Awards...

We still have all the competition pages loaded and in place and as soon as we have everything in place as soon as we can we will be in touch with everyone, and the awards will still take place...

Never say die!

Best wishes

Darren & Lanie
