hacked

Did y'all see the webpage got hacked? Is it gone? Any updates?

Yes, the forum software unfortunately had some bad code that was exploited by a hacker to deface most forum pages. The game sites were not affected, and I've spent much of today patching that exploit and installing measures to help prevent this from happening again in the future.

Apologies for any inconvenience today,
Stephen

thanks for the update!

No need to apologize. It's a shame that this type of effortless vandalism is encouraged by the hacking community. Developers have to waste valuable time maintaining software like vBulletin that already serves its purpose, and the number of easy exploits continues to grow.

While it's unlikely the hack exposed accounts here, just a reminder to everyone not to use the same password on every account - especially important sites like online banking. Use a password manager or the latest in two-factor authentication.
