THat is shocking. Cannot believe it is all gone! Surely they are bound to have offsite backups for something of that size. Very low indeed.

Really bad news  ....this is what I read on flightsim... Tom Allensworth, CEO and Publisher of AVSIM, today issued the following announcement; "We regret to inform the flight simulation community that on Tuesday, May 12, AVSIM was hacked and effectively destroyed. The method of the hack makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from. Both servers, that is the library / email and web site / forum servers were attacked. AVSIM is totally offline at this time and we expect to be so for some time to come. We are not able to predict when we will be back online, if we can come back at all. We will post more news as we are able to in the coming days and weeks

At least the web site is now back online (and the forums).
Progress of sorts.
