The popular gaming site dedicated to Macintosh game developers, iDevGames, is now back online. The site was hacked late last year, right in the middle of iDevGames' contest public voting period, disrupting the event and postponing the tabulation of the votes.

Here's the welcome back post from iDevGames:

With most of the server issues laid to rest, I have installed our content management system today, Mambo. The content, which was backed up before we migrated was also successfully restored today as well. The next step is to re-install the forum software and restore its data. Along with a few others, the new iDevGames "template (skin) will be tweaked over the next few days. We also plan to convert it from tables to full CSS — for faster loading.I would like to thank all of those who waited patiently during these trying times, and for GoodDoug's hand in helping with Mac OS X Server. We have a great deal of content in the works, and once the forum is back online, I hope to rekindle the "21 Days Later Contest." On a side note, iDevGames is now being hosted in my homeoffice off of a CATV modem running at 1Mbps upstream. Within the next few weeks however, I will be installing a Fiber-Optics (Fiber-to-the-home) network for iDevGames. This should allow for much greater speed and the ability for us to resume our downloads section. Once again, thank you for your patience and I am looking forward to talking to all of our loyal members in the forum very shortly. Cheers. Carlos Camacho, Editor.
