I am really shocked!

Who might have done this? I mean, nothing was stolen, but everything was destroyed. It must have been someone who had something against 3D Total.

But why? I think there aren't any offenses on 3D Total, are there?

It must have been someone who knew that the whole team was away, i think, but you said no one knew that...

Thats really strange, i hope the local police will find out something soon!

I am very glad the site is back soon. Good job 3D Total Team!

Some very disturbing news
It looks like you're on your way back though, so Congrats on the hard work and here's hoping the sickos responsible land in some hot water.

CONGRATULATIONS!

[iayestaran]

That is outright malicious!! I can imagine somebody breaking in for equipment, but to sabbotage all backups like that sounds much more personal! Well, I'm personally glad you guys are back; hope you find the perpetrators and time to get some zzzzs!!

[bumbi]

I just don't get it... why why why should someone do something like that?

can anyone find any good reason?



I hope the police finds the criminals and that capital punishment is allowed where you are

I'm glad that the information and all the hard work weren't lost at least, but I really hope we won't see anything like this again on any 3d-site.

OMG! It's incredible that somebody could be this malicious. I agree, it seems like a personal vendetta against 3DTotal. I'm glad that you're back and congratulations on the quick recovery.

[UnsteadyTeddy]

WTF! This obviously seems to be a personal attack on the 3DTotal team's work and livelihood. How can ayone find offence with this website? The forum moderators are observant of any malicious actions on the Threedy.com forum threads, but 3DTotal.com itself is, in its simplest form, a collection of hyperlinks to the hard work of others.

I'm afraid in England we dont have capital punishment, bumbi, but this seems insane! Is there a history of 21st century Ludites near you, Tom, or have they targeted your servers in the knowledge that they contained the information for 3DTotal.com?

I'll end by offering you my most sincerest apologies to a team that has offered a free, top quality website for several years.

Lckily the Threedy.com servers weren't hit, there must be gigabytes of information on the threads...

Please keep us informed of any changes of circumstances, Tom, as I for one would like to see how our judical system reacts to such a mindless attack on property.

[Morwen]

Mee too i'm very very shocked. I hope police find these F****g vandals.
If you have any problem you can contact me at any time.

[Wormin8or]

Just noticed in the photos the fax, comuter, monitors, etc are left intact. Are these at your home or have they solely attacked the data storage devices.

[SueL]

Maybe it was somebody whose picture wasn't accepted for the 3DTotal gallery....

[JHarford]

i doubt that .
who knows. and who are we to speculate
