    I just got this pm about the hazey

    Due to personnel reasons and other reasons The Hazey is no more, I always
    said the day I no longer enjoyed coming on the site the day it would shut,
    those who recently paid or donated have been refunded in full.

    Thanks to the great staff members who helped the site be so good this past
    year and to all the members who helped make The Hazey a great forum, good
    luck with all your future endevors

    Regards
    Richard

    Wow, sad to hear. Forum was nice, but to be honest promotion forums dont really last.. fp is different though. I wonder what the reason behind its closing was.

    Seeing sites as successful as the hazey going down scares me.

    It getting hacked would be a good reason to shut it down without notice.

    We could keep on guessing all night and might never find out the truth. Its just a shame as i liked the forum plus i had a big package sitting to get down. :-(

    Im very sure he got hacked or else he wouldnt delete the forum from his server, if you goto www.thehazey.co.uk the forum files is gone. If it wasnt hacked it would just have the forum closed with the notice showing why it closed. Just a theory.

    I know what it means i have seen it loads before when i first started up forums, lol

    it means two things

    1 rich has deleted all the files of the server
    2 its been hacked and they have managed to get into the server and delete all his files.
