My UN nation The Charlie Infested Nation of Kie (now renamed The Largest Nation of Kie) was hacked while i was on holiday. The dude deleted my e-mail so i couldn't get the password back. I got tons of proof that Kie is my nation and i'd like it back.

I'd hazard a guess that this happened along with the cracks of Gothicville and Shiff's nations (that resulted in the griefings of Coalition of Invaders and The Province), since Kie is a member of the same group and was most likely a member of the same proboards forum IronJokers used to perform this feat, if this information helps at all.

We're aware of this. The nation has been frozen, and once our admin has a chance to look at this, a new password should be e-mailed out to you.

Yeah i figured it'd have something to do with people being annoyed at invasions. Cheers Myrth.

Out of curiousity -- did people whose nations were hacked use their NS password as a password on another site?

It seems that PH's response might lead one to assume that:

Proboards has been known to be a security accident waiting to happen, which is why a good deal of us don't register on those types of forums to avoid any type of even hack attempt.

Actually, this bears repeating, though Reploid Productions mentioned it during the earlier password stealing fiasco....
DON'T use the same password and handle on multiple sites. It's just a security disaster waiting to happen.
