I figured the new changes to the main home page may be the issue... anybody else notice them?

Anonymous hacked the forums because I wouldn't let them join Thraxocorp. They stole everyone's passwords, bank details, gym memberships, that one sock you can't find, codes and they said iOS is better than Android.

Srsly though, I did get a fright. For a moment I wondered if I hadn't been banned.

I'll hazard a guess and say maintenance?

Must've been maintenance because that "Please click to share" covers almost all of the images when your mouse hovers over them. That's a nuisance feature, it's too big.

precisely, but I doubt it was maintenance... more likely a mistake... if it was maintenance there should have been a message or at least a message before it happened... cant think right now but well you know what i mean... some sort of indication.,.. I tested a server ping it was live... so had to be an error...

and the home page I asume. ahhh... That bar at the bottom Everytime I closed the pop-ups they would just invade again! My precious 15 pixels of space! Of all the things that could happen this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!

Any way to disable it? (I just have a problem with the thing in the bottom left)

I think that was the sound of them choking on a stick of butter.

My floor was wet from all the tears I've shed while the site was taken over by the Matrix.
Where's Neo when you need him the most?

Makes sense that they would say that because they are an insane and mentally unstable group of individuals, but:

for a while I couldn't even access this forum, I kept getting "no data"

I know! The ponies do that... Never let ponies in a server room, it's not good if that happens.

Just a question, are you guys talking about when the forum went offline recently for no apparent reason whatsoever?
I found it strange too.
