PlacesGoneBy[e] was hacked in January 2024 and we have been recovering from backups since then. Most of the site is back online, although we're finding some pictures and posts do not match, so we're having to go post-by-post and in some cases recreate the post/picture links. Please bear with us as we move forward.
