Pretty sure they were both in GD, I noticed they were gone early in the AM Sat 8/11 Eastern Time, the same time that first saw the message that the site had been hacked. Has this happened to anyone else?

The boards were set back to the saved section (Friday 3:30 am, I belive). Anything posted after that to when the boards were hacked is gone, baby, gone.
I lost a lovely poem Finagle posted about a stuffed owl. Bummer.

Sorry about that, but true. If it was in that window between 3:30 am and approximately 12:30 pm on Friday the 10th, it’s gone for all time.

I weep at opportunities lost.
