This is to fill you all in on the reason for the recent downtime and funny messages on this site.

We were hacked. It was found to be a vulnerability in the server and host, and a group of Turkish defacers decided to attack the site and deface it.

It affected all 4 of my domains as well since they are on the same server.

I am still trying to clean it all up so I will be busy for a bit, and hopefully I will be ready to move to the newer and better server soon as soon as I get the money to.

The only thing I noticed was that the chat has been lagging and screwing up lately.

yeah, that was weird. Although maybe moving to a new server will help with the chat lag?

Turkish Star. They were Turkish Defacers.

Yes it will definately. Problem is, I'm totally strapped for cash and can't afford the server move.

If by 'going down' you mean oral sex, one of them just got off my penis several minutes ago.
