There was a backup, but the fucking server admin went to make a new backup, problem was that he was backing up an empty server and when he did so, he overwrote the original backup. I had the original html fies/content on my harddrive, but decided to throw in the towel on it since I was not motivated to reconfigure all the scripts/dB, etc and do the ftp of all the content. The first time I ftp everything took up almost a week.

I had other sites such as TGP, blogs, etc that were making far more money than the paysite.. Dude, I was so fucking pissed off about getting hacked that I lost interest in the paysites and just focused on salvaging everything else.
