Went to the other areas of the site by other means. The other places work. Wait...If I don't enter a /index.php,I get the hacked page. If I go to the one with /index.php,I get an OK site. Must be the cache...

Is it just me or is there a redirect to Chuck Testa on Youtube five seconds after loading http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/index.php ?
I gotta admit, if it is the case this guy's pretty funny, if annoying.
EDIT: Lol yep. Right at the top.

That page was bloody unexpected. Especially when I'm on my phone...

Yeah I'm getting that too. So annoying. You think it could be a glitch or...another hacker?

Good to be back here, what's left of it. Still, it's good to be back.

Seriously, it`s good to be back. I was kinda missing it.

I was sad to hear about this, qdmc was a sweetheart to let me know. Then I forgot until just recently when my email address (previously almost spam free) has been overloaded with spam.
So I clicked my way back here and changed my password. I assume the main site is down for now as I can't get to it?
I guess, because WipEout is so close to finally achieving its ideal of total world domination, this site is a hotspot for hacker attention...
I hope this is a one time idiocy. One of the best sites on the internet and it gets hacked. Pfft.

Hi Medusa - thanks for dropping back in.
I'm rebuilding the main site - should have it back online by the end of the month.
If getting hacked is an endorsement of quality then I'd rather stay average!
Phantom Pilot
How's that going, BTW? I hope that the in-game fiction articles come back online soon (If not, I've got backups)

It's going okay.
Had to park it for a bit to get another site I run ready in time for the start of the IndyCar season, but now that's done I'm back fixing up the main WipEoutZone site.
There's lots of stuff that needs a bit of a rewrite, but I'm still shooting for the end of this month.

Yeah, I was meant to be finished at the weekend, but I got sick and was out of it for a few days.
Plus the more I looked at it the less I liked the code... might end up doing a bigger overhaul than first intended.
So it'll be ready when it's ready.

Sorry guys, a new member here, but the site got hacked? So, these forums are just a part of the WipeoutZone domain? Looks like I have discovered this community at the wrong time!
Phantom Pilot
Yeah, and the main site was quite good too. In particular, there was a 'Fiction' section which had articles relating to the Wipeout universe written by Damon Fairclough (the creator of the backstories to the games [or at least the original wipeout]).
The site got hacked a few times about February this year. Although the admins got it up and running again a few times, it eventually got downsized to just the forums. (Luckily I saved some of the fiction articles b4hand. Came quite in handy for editing the Wipeout wikia).
BTW: keep it up the good work, infoxicated. Can't wait for the site to be back up and running.

That's really awesome, hope it can be restored to its former glory! Great job everyone involved, keep up the good work. Thanks for filling me in keg_11, nice summary.
