Came home from a weekend in Minnesota to find that MultimediaShooter had been hacked.

RIP
I write this with a very heavy heart:
I am sorry to report that this website is down for the count. The site was recently hacked several
times this weekend and severe damage was done. I do not have the time or resources at this time to
continue. I wish you all the best. I only wish this hadn’t happened.
[To the ‘hacker’ I hope it makes you happy to destroy something that people put their
heart and soul into for years, for the sole purpose of learning and creating a small community
on the web. Just to have you destroy it for no reason. You win. There is a special place in hell for you.]
To those of you who supported the site over the years, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I don’t know what more to say, except, remember, it’s all about the STORY, not the TOOLS.

I’m hoping Richard finds the strength to bring the site back. His work and site has been an incredible asset in both my storytelling and shear abundance of daily inspiration. It’s been an invaluable resource for me and our community and I hope his voice isn’t lost for good.
Thanks for everything Richard.
Send him an email(rhernandez at mercurynews dot com) and let him know what his site has meant to you.
