Hello everyone,

Sorry for the alarming and dramatic title, but I think all of the persons here has the right to know what's going on. Animation Source got entirely hacked, yesterday night.

The troll hacked a lot of moderator/administrator accounts to spam and to give permissions to his double-accounts and thus, made himself an easy way to take control and destroy the sites. I decided to demod every single staff member on the AS sites to avoid their powers to be misused. . 

Then the hacker striked back and started to delete a bunch of accounts - including some staff accounts. I had no other choice than to close every site down, for safety purpose. I've only let the Animation Source hub open, to allow the members to log in.

To conclude, I did everything that I could to protect AS. For the moment, everything is under control - we must all remain calm. Sadly, Steet is currently in vacation and will only get back in a few days. He dosen't even know that AS got hacked to such a high level. If we're lucky, we shall find a permanent and useful way to get rid of this troll. Until then, every site will remain temporary closed. I don't want to take any risk.

The webranking will surely be affected, but if this decision can prevent our sites from being destructed, I think it's worth the sacrifice.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask by posting a comment.
