Fixed grammar errors. And this sucks QQ. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:21, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

do you atleast have a clue for who did this? XiV 15:22, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Not really... Was more busy getting it back online then finding the source. Just need to do a better job protecting it. gcardinal 15:25, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

just pointing out, if this account was unblocked, that means you have to reblock every single IP on the AN, pre-wipe. File:Definite caboose sig.jpgAce(LVPoW) 15:23, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

And a lot of copyvio's to go over, again? --› Srs Beans R Srs 15:24, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

actually not that much, the images deleted have that weird thingy. if any images were up, then they still work. and the newer definite caboose sig was not by me, that was JJberks, so i have the delete tag on there. File:Definite caboose sig.jpgAce(LVPoW) 15:29, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Isn't it awkward how it's on september 11th 0o Farmerfez 15:46, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

So we come to the conclusion that PvXwiki was hacked by terrorists, I knew it... --Frosty 15:48, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Too bad it went down yesterday. ~~     Frvwfr2     talk    contribs    admin   15:49, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

EC. just curious, when did the site go off (GMT) and back on (GMT)? CABOSE(LVPoW)_{"Hey chicka bum bum!"} 15:50, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

......lol ouch lost half my page...ouch on the haxx too That Twin Tom 16:03, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Find out who did it, post the IPlogs here Hole Talks dirty. 16:05, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

could we possibly get a notice to ask people to stop putting up new builds (I.e. ones not from the previous ~2weeks), while we catch up?. ~PheNaxKian (T/c) 16:14, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

i think it was prolly one of those IP vandals, in particular, the one who gave me a hard time. there is no way i think rask could do this. CABOSE(LVPoW)_{"Hey chicka bum bum!"} 16:18, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

dammit, this sucks. Just happened to be the day RIGHT after i redid my userpage, too. - tai say hai 16:23, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

i had to remake my account. that's worse. CABOSE(LVPoW)_{"Hey chicka bum bum!"} 16:24, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

(EC ×2) I'd highly doubt Rask did this. I've barely got the utilities to pull something off myself. (Not to mention, I'm on a secured T1 line that the school monitors.) I'd place my money on someone who has something against the site, or some hardxcore vandal who got his hands on some nice scripts. Still, perhaps it was more than one person? Hard to say without knowing all the security specifics. The guy was obviously good, though, and knew what he was doing, that or it was some script kiddie. yay 4chan? ツ cedave (contributions☆buildpage) 16:26, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

well, let's list everybody who is/has been a vandal and has been blocked, but then unblocked because of server crash because i think the server crashing was a diversion for whatever it is this hacker wanted to do because he couldn't do anything if he was blocked, so i'm assuming he found out the IPs of an admin and unblocked himself, and my guess is he used an untracable proxy. Can the admins get a list from the government and make this a case or something? CABOSE(LVPoW)_{"Hey chicka bum bum!"} 16:36, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

List more here...

Not so huge a deal. I can't see anyone hacking the server to get around a block; making a new account would be far more efficient, and would require much less technological knowledge. Even if they weren't feeling lazy, it'd be simpler to get into the block log database and erase their name than to crash the site. -- Armond Warblade{{sysop}} 16:38, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

How about we don't start making up random theories about who might have done what for whatever reason? --Image:Tab Piplup.jpg 16:38, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

It's the "spirit" of 9/11; create as many unlikely theories in one day? Sorry if I offend anyone with this. --› Srs Beans R Srs 16:42, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Kind of off topic, but a list of tasks to be done:

• Demote Shen: He resigned
• Demote Armond: Same as Shen
• Promote Phenax: Won adminship then DB crash. Apparently he's bad luck :P
• Fix Eronth: What the fuck is a Єяøהħ?

aww shucks...i had just made my tag and added in a new build...--IkimonoThe Ursan MonkFile:Image:Paragon-icon-small.png 17:00, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Is anyone else having problems with signatures and email validation? mines all screwy. - tai talk 17:42, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

A lot of the signatures got messed up, but as for email validation... that's always been kinda weird. Unless you mean you're having trouble getting YOUR sig to work? - 17:43, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

my sig went back to not having a working link to the talk section of my page :P - Land of the Free 17:46, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
