After several months of absence, the forums were created again from scratch in May 2005, but they were merged with the [[UbiSoft]] forums, powered by the Infopop software. This decision was highly criticised, but a certain number of users stayed, in hope of reconstructing their community, while others joined [[Pirate Community]]. On July 3th 2006, an attack performed by [[Anti RaymanZone Organisation|ARZO]] caused a hard disk to break, resulting in the loss of two days of posts for the whole [[UbiSoft|Ubi]] forums. Then, in July and August, the forums were repeatedly spammmed, until they were entirely deleted by [[Anti RaymanZone Organisation|ARZO]] on August 24th 2006. Those spam attacks were later proved to be a cover for a graduated deletion which purpose was to render any backups useless. | After several months of absence, the forums were created again from scratch in May 2005, but they were merged with the [[UbiSoft]] forums, powered by the Infopop software.
