it was vB.
"pixellation" was a forum with thousands of members that once dissapeared overnight, dispersing the whole community

Granted i'm giving them credit that they make daily backups and keep them onsite.
I believe this was a case of somebody exploiting commonly known vulnerabilities in the vBulletin system. You've got to keep up with patches and versions, especially in forums. With so much user interactivity, there are a lot more opprotunities for problems.
looks like it's being fixed. hope it's back up soon. when's the next challenge?
Whose next? Could it be us?

fear not, people. remember that board downtime just a few days back? that was an upgrade and patch maneuver expressly to prevent that sort of thing from happening. we are all very, very, very lucky to have an admin behind the scenes that is dedicated to security and stability issues, to say nothing of improved useability. so thanks, Vito.
Fred, you and any of your crew are of course welcome to slum it over here at polycount in the meantime
Features as it is soooo pity!
Rather than send the guy to jail, the police chopped off his (dominant) right hand!.

He's only laughing until he realizes that hacking is a felony punishable by up to 15 years of jailtime.
why do you guys think its taking so long?
I think it's a bunch of script kiddies that are proud that they managed to read a tutorial on how to exploit some board system weakness and now are going through Google's lists and trying it on every page they find. You know, because they think that makes them unresistable for women.
lets hope they don't fall down the path of obscurity. where else will I get my Maya knowledge!!
Look forward to the return.
