Deleted a bunch of posts, caused general havoc. (i believe whoever did it still has admin access to the site)

He deleted the Tinkerbot post, so if anyone needs the current version, i put up my config here

not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up and their
great stature adds to ours

He's a serious jerk. Deleted, blocked, and totally screwed up those boards.

Hopefully someone has some backups the boards can be restored from. We had a similar problem with EZBoards last year - it was a nightmare. Hope they catch the jerk who did this, and are able to restore some, if not all, of the forums!

Cam has stated that the AC Tool board will be back up soon, he's in the process of doing a restore.

Sadly the last good backup was two weeks ago, but most of the good stuff is from '03 or so.
