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.

Skulblaka_Shur'tugal; At the moment you're not a mod so you can quite frankly get the hell over it. A lot of people agree with me and we're welcome to talk about whatever we want. How dare you try to tell everyone what they can and cannot talk about. We're not stupid and we can talk about whatever you want. Stop being so arrogant.

And Skul, I'd suggest you stop offering up information, you're just prolonging the rage. Just stop and let people get over it.

Really? That's good, out here i only know about three kids who are good at spelling, then lots of medium spellers, then several bad spellers. I got my spell checker to work, awesome! i just had to download the google tool bar again, whadayaknow!
ieyez,

RE:Ste...
You're right, the whole thing is rather amusing, but it's a bit of a bummer for the site creators. I've read quite a few of the comments on here, and many people are acting like this is the end of world. I know what you mean when you say it could be a moderator messing about XD That'd be interesting :L
To all those people who are over-reacting: I wouldn't worry coz like RE: Steet said, no personal details were stolen. May I add that there are much worse things going off in the world, so worrying about a site is not really worth it. Sure the whole thing's annoying, especially for Steet, I'm sure, but nobody died, so chill people
I'm not gonna whine and flame you, RE:Steet, because you made some very valid points
I beg to differ. I know plenty of kids that can spell perfectly fine. It's not hard. And with all the spell checks there are out there now for the internet there is zero reason anyone should make as many spelling errors as people here do.

1) There is no proof that anyone was hacked, it was most likely a mod or admin that was annoyed and abused their power (and I can see why).
2) If it was hacked, they did nothing illegal. No personal information appears to have been stolen (how would it have been?), everything was restored and no viruses were placed anywhere. Everyone should really just get over it and move on. Idle threats will probably just make the troll laugh and want to troll again.
3) Learn how to spell and write, nobody will take you seriously until you do. You should have learned this in first grade.
4) This site is not that important. Even Steet said it. Get over it and relax. Tibb, Lax and a few others have pointed out how ridiculous you all look and you should listen to them because they seem like the most intelligent people here. Even Maverick is sitting back and laughing at this whole situation. It's not a big deal, it's actually pretty funny and it's all fixed now so stop whining.
I'm sure people will freak out now because they think that this site is the most important thing in the world, and then they'll probably tell the troll who hasn't been here in days because he/she is busy having a life that THEY need to get a life which is hypocritical and ridiculous. A lot of you look like complete idiots right now. I don't condone what the troll did, it's a real shame and they shouldn't have done that but it's NOT a big deal and you're all taking it way too seriously.
Let the whiny flaming begin...

I checked my google toolbar spell checker and i turned it off and on again, maybe now it'll work.
Steet
Okay seriously, I'm actually starting to get why they trolled this place. Is everyone here stupid? You all act like 5 year olds and complain about everything. No wonder it was trolled. I was a member about 5-6 years ago and it was never this bad. This is flat out embarrassing.
Steet
I do have a suggestion though, since every single browser except Internet Explorer has a built in (free) spell checker now, why not use one of those? OR download a toolbar for Internet Explorer that has a built in spell checker (free), or if you're making a long post like that take the 2 seconds to post it into Word Perfect and not embarrass yourself.

I'm not sure because i can't here the tone of your voice, but that sounded like sarcasam. I do have spell check on Word Perfect, but it dosn't correct my typing on any websites, or anything other than when i'm typing on Word Perfect, so sorry.

Sorry for having an out of date computer, but i don't get the red line when i'm typing a post on this site, and sorry for misspelling. I'm not an adult yet, i'm still learning. Even adults are still learning, so don't try changing the subject off of your mistake. I'm good with math, not spelling, so excuse me. and after looking in the dictionary sitting next to me, it's spelled catastrophe i believe. but thanks for pointing that out, now i know how to spell it.
Sincerely,

To Grey wolf, steet and whoever else assisted in saving the sites to the best of their abilities: Thank you very much for all your hard work. Where would we be without you guys here?
To that troll hacker person, whoever they are: Maybe they will come back, maybe they won't - who cares? No website is truly safe, but we will only improve and end up stronger because of this attack. Don't underestimate us. And I know that you're not Skulblaka; anyone who thinks that is truly some sort of a moron.
To the crazed fans that were freaking out: Oh my gosh... just freaking chill, okay? It's just a website. I did other things during the day and if you're so dependent on the AS sites, maybe you should find a hobby outside of the Internet? It helps.
I think that's all that needs to be said. This is just one of those obstacles that we all face when we use the Internet. It'll suck sometimes, just like this attack, but thanks to smart people on this site, things will get better for AS and all of the sites - you'll see. Again, CHILL. I have, so you can too.

and whoever Re: Steet is, you should also be ashamed of that one comment. No one died, no buildings fell because of a terrorist attack, this was just some persons entertainment for the weekend. It isn't a good thing, but this isn't a catastrufy.
Steet is managing this maturaly, more maturly then most everyone here, even me.

This is a fansite, it's not the end of the world if it's not available for 2 days, is it?...
Nothing to worry about, there are backups of the most important things.
