Massive down time
While our beloved owner Omniscient was away at Lake Tahoe this weekend HackForums went down for a lengthy time of 8 hours. The event occurred on the 22nd, only a day after HackForum's 5th anniversary. To see Omniscient's short and sweet announcement click the following link: http://goo.gl/AXt0G

Beware of phishers
Earlier this week there was talk of a phishing scam where a non-upgraded member would PM you yelling at you for a post. In the PM it would contain a link that looked like a link to a thread or reply, but when clicked it would take you to a phishing site where members would be prompted to log back in to HackForums. Omniscient has not commented on this matter, however some members believe that he is going to take legal action in hopes of shutting down the website.
