Our site was apparently hacked again last night. In addition to uploading spam content, they also deleted all plug-ins and several pages, including the ones on the Macleans case and Blawger of the Year Daniel Simard.

We seem to encounter these problems every time we post something critical of Steyn, which we find unfortunate.

We’ll try to restore the site over the summer, but for now it seems we’re temporarily out of service while we go through exams.

Update: We’re back. The problem appeared to be an old version of WordPress, which allowed the Steyn supporter hacker to delete files and access our controls.

Thanks to BigCityLib and others on the blogosphere that expressed concern.

A very special thank you to those who helped us get back up running so quickly, including Scott Tribe of Progressive Bloggers, and Lawrence Gridin of UWO Law (we just recruited him for the team).
