My Hotmail account was hacked into and spambotted the universe so it was closed. GH or any of the other numerous sites I use that dummy mail account for? I will never know.

What's ironic is my backup recovery email address was ******@msn.com. Screw that. Easier to just open up a new throwaway hotmail address.

Just when I thought you were going to send me 50m dollar AND viagra.

Next time use a better password than "nickel".

Geekhack is dead!

This time it seems to be forever!

My theory it was your 100K post GB4 thread.

Vbulletin Buffer Overflow.

The US government took it down to reduce the household deficit spending

No, can't be, because Round 3 had still more posts.

But maybe it is the mailbox of 7bit_R4 that caused the problem.

This would be stupid. The key caps are produced in the US and many participants of Round 4 are from outa space.

Any clue what's going on? It's down quite often.

Because of the domain name, it's regularly targeted for DDoS and SQL injections by hackers looking to bump their portfolio.

Because it runs vBulletin and is consistently hit by drive-by exploits.

It is down because of weekly maintenance.

^ Dutch humor

And because it is already Monday morning in China, we know that they outsourced the maintenance to cut down costs.

iMav wanted to change the setup with a new drive for faster loads, so maybe its related. <- for optimists

Would be nice if he let us know about scheduled and intentional maintenance

Why should he tell people from a foreign website that his own website will crash in about every minute?

Also, it does not really look like maintenance. More like there was never any ... any .. what was the name of that forum?

This is horrible.

A lof of GB that are run on Geekhack are going to be compromised and I'm worried about the wooden Filco case GB that was open Yesterday that may be deleted and the PM as well

Every week happens the same.

GeekHack is online once more, with rollback and all. Seems that the latest backup was made on Friday.

It's really funny indeed and actually true

I've recommended Gothic860 to move his GB over here because he is located in Europe. Here things are really safe and he won't lose any info.

Have to be a pain in the ass to run your first GB and get your content deleted. I hope he has a back up of his thread and orders.

If you're referring to the thread I think you're referring to, the keyboard case he made looked absolutely amazing! Too bad he's only doing Filco Tenkeyless clones for now. I guess he needs to start somewhere though, so it's okay. Maybe he'll get into the whole split ergo stuff and want to make a case for that.

I bet the hacker looked like this as a child

Dude, your pics suck.

I'm no HTML whiz but

502 Bad Gateway
The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server.[2]

Can't be good.

I think no error message might be worse?

It's almost exciting to see how many days we will roll back this time.

Anyone want to start a pool?

Backed up my RipOruster Wiki JUST in time last night.

I knew it will happen again!

You should put all of it into the Deskthority wiki. It is much safer and more usable.

Also, you might win something in the Wiki contest!

NOOOOOOOOO more rollback please! Can't handle it.

I was busy backing up my current ones and chatting with moderators.

GH has the chattiest moderators of ANY forum I've ever been on. Do this. Don't do that. I'm back in High School ( which I suspect some of the mods there are still attending).

hardware replacement is happening today. hopefully this instability will be over soon.

See.

I don't understand the need for rolling the data back.
