Recebi o seguinte email:
Dear Seu_Madruga,
First of all, I apologize sincerely if you received this email last week. It is not my intention to spam anyone, but our server crashed trying to send out the emails -- so I don't know if any actually went out.
As you may know, EN World was hacked in December 2012. The entire site was destroyed, and I'm building it again from scratch. While the basic functionality is there (news and forums), much of the functionality built up over a decade was lost. I need to hire developers to recode all that cool stuff, but that takes time and - more importantly - money. While EN World ain't going anywhere, I'm turning to the community with whose help we can restore much of what was lost within a few months. To this end, I have started a Kickstarter project.
Monte Cook said "EN World is a good cause"; Green Ronin's Chris Pramas said "EN World has been a great center of gaming community many years. I had to back Rebuilding EN World on Kickstarter"; Paizo CEO Lisa Stevens said "Glad to help EN World get back up on its feet!"; and Ryan Dancey said "The ENWorld community is an asset to the whole hobby. Helping them get back up on their feet is just the Right Thing To Do. Back this Kickstarter."
Our goal, put simply:
EN World will be FAST, it will be RELIABLE, and it will have AWESOME FEATURES. It will also, most importantly, STILL BE AROUND FOR YEARS TO COME! And we all want that, right? Right?
Kickstarter staff very kindly said to me: "Normally, we don't accept website projects, but we talked about what you're doing and we think rebuilding a community website through Kickstarter is a great use of our platform."
I'm calling the hacking "The Great Breach of 2012" and the Kickstarter backers "The Defenders of the Wall". Gear up, and take your place on the wall now!Not only will your support help to rebuild EN World, it will also get you awesome rewards - there's a whole range of rewards available, from a massive PDF bundle (with Pathfinder and D&D 4th Edition stuff in it, and which is growing rapidly) to bespoke artwork of your character or a monster, to special game sessions at conventions, and more!
You can find the Kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...lding-en-world (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...lding-en-world)
Thank you for your time, and for your support.

Em resumo pra quem tiver preguiça, eles foram hackeados em dezembro, perderam absolutamente tudo e estão fazendo um kickstarter para arrecadar fundos (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/rebuilding-en-world). A coisa está avançando BEM rápido e tem vários benefícios, parece interessante (e bacana).
Alguém soube dessa master-hackeada? Segundo eles, os posts estão lá, mas os dez anos de códigos e modificações nos códigos dos fóruns foram completamente destruídos.
