Maybe you guys didn't see this post. There was a reason I didn't publicly post the solution.

Until the third party figures out what is what, the owners of this site have at least plausible deniability.
Thanks in advance.

And how does providing information to your membership "make it hard on the owners, the girls, us, everybody?"
My problem with this whole situation is the total lack of communication from the owners as to what is going on. Even the most inept IT team should have been able to get the data back onto the Showcases in a reasonable amount of time; therefore one has to think that there's something else going on.
If it's again a legal issue where the owners decided to remove the data until they get a legal opinion, why not tell the membership? And if it's truly a software issue (which a few moderators have mentioned, but not verified by ownership) why not verify it?
What we have here is a whore board version of Watergate.
