EMERGENCY SITE MAINTENANCE IMMINENT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Postby Ekkebus on Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:44 am

Apologies for the short notice X-strike fans, but due to problems in our back end caused by douchebag hax0rs (no joke) we need to take the site almost completely down to get things cleaned up. Ben estimates this could take at least a couple weeks, possibly more. Hopefully we will be back in action well before MAGFest. In the meantime please check our Facebook page for regular updates regarding the site maintanence, as well as new content and X-strike news. Our Blank of the Year 2010 podcast will be posted there this week and its possible you could see a return from our friend Vic Tokai before the maintanence is complete! Also, if you need to order any hot X-strike swag, the store will remain open here on the site for the duration of this downtime.

Thanks to everyone for their patience with the situation and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and all the jazz. See you soon!

Has your site been hacked recently with phishing scams? I've had that happen to five of my sites in the last week, some of them multiple times. It blooowws.

I do not believe we have been "hacked" so much as we have been infected. The cleansing shall begin as soon as I have a full backup of the site (which is taking much longer than expected).

Good news is that while the site is down the forums will stay up at least for the time being. Videos and such will be posted on Facebook.

That's definitely a bummer, but it's good that you guys are able to kick ass on this thing as quickly as possible.

My solution would just be to run around in circles and sob hysterically until I pass out, and I'm not sure how much help that would be.

In the future, we'll refer to this as Disastertunity 2010. Never forget, it kinda sucked.

The 2010 Blank of the Year podcast is up on the Facebook. Facebook it up!

HUUUUUUUUUGE thank you to Mahoney for helping me get the video player working on the website! The plan is to get the basics working before MAGFest, so check back frequently. The Store is the next on the list!

Thank you everyone for your patience!
