Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that we've hit a couple of road bumps in the last couple of months.

The first bump, is that the site was hacked by a web bot that found a hole in the CMS that we're using. It corrupted the database file thus causing the blank screen that you've seen on the site. The hole has been closed and I've upgraded the current CMS. I kept the MFFL team database separate from the CMS database, so all that data is still safe. I just have to upload and rebuild it.

The second bump, this one is a bit more serious... The stat service that we've been using for the last 15 years or so suddenly vanished. The site is no longer available, and it looks like they have sold their domain. They didn't give any reason or notice. The problem of course is where do we now get our stats? I've been conducting some searches for stat providers, but either they are way too expensive, or don't provide the IDP stats. If you guys know of any service please let me know and I'll see if it can be used with our formula system.

I'll be bringing more services back to the site, but the main focus is to find another stat service. Without it, it doesn't make much sense to continue.

Just in case:
