Whats wrong? Anandtech Hacked?

[BigFatCow]

i wonder if it might have something to do with their new server upgrades?

 

[Migroo]

Maybe BFC.

Everythings working now or so it seems by the way

 

[Trainwreck]

The thread about this in Forum Issues has been deleted. It's a cover up!

BTW the forums weren't hacked. See here

Maybe you don't belong here...


I got the same thing
It made me feel bad
It made me think I wasn't good enough
Or that I was a screw up, and had always been one, and would always be one.

I thought maybe Anand had found me out and didn't want me anymore...

I'm on subscriber and everything is back to normal.

FYI, the load balancer runs on Linux. The source code is available, but not as hackable...

ANANDTECH CONSPIRACY THEORY

Maybe Anand got tired of all the little limp-wristed pantywaist nerds who still live in mom and dad's basement bitching about the subscriber program, and he just pulled the plug.

"You do not belong here" - translation: go out and get some sunlight and quit fappin' to Internet porn, you freak!

First time being hacked you mean? It was hacked a while back too. I can't remember how long ago though. I used to have a screen shot of it. I'll have to see if I still have it. lol

From Zuni in one of the other threads.


<< Wrong on all accounts No, it was not hacked. It was the load balancers they failed and were going to a temp page that the linux guys had up. It's being investigated as to why they failed. >>

<< Seems to me only the best of the best Anandtechers are hard enough to try different servers and get on. The rest are wannabes! >>


I am a subscriber but I tried forums.anandtech.com and still got that message.

 

[Slacker]

No, not a hack job, read what zuni posted in the thread he linked to........

LMAO!!!

No sh!t!! Really had me freaked. I almost wanted to cry like a little girl (in a manner of speaking).

I was thinking "OMG, I can't believe I got banned and I didn't even have to do anything wrong."

It's like the world ended for an hour or so!

I even wrote the mod asking who I pissed off and how!

 

[Miramonti]

Hey! Why'd you guys lock me out???

 

[wfbberzerker]

maybe its cuz they are upgrading the servers.

 

[Bluga]

I was just having some fun guys. :_

 

[StarRover]

Maybe we were troll attacked + hacked here at Anandtech.:frown:

 

[sglurker]

it said that i didnt belong.. not even the internet accepts me ='(

<< Maybe it's Zuni's way of demonstrating how fast the forums can be if you subscribe. >>



No, because the main subscriber.anandtech.com page (which the forums.anandtech.com takes you to if you subscribe or you can go there direct) also had the message, as did www.anandtech.com, however the forums3.anandtech.com www2.anandtech.com subscriber2.anandtech.com etc addresses still worked. I'm inclined to belive zuni's version, since it fits the facts, and if it WAS hacked, surely the hacker could have come up with something better
