Does anyone know what's up with Apolyton?

[Uncle Sparky]

Syrians did the New York Times a n d Apolyton! Bastards!

I think it may have been The Mesopotamians... they have been ignored for too long!

 

[Braindead]

Apolyton seems to have been hacked. When I tried to access the site I saw a message "Hacked by The Belegit Network).

Perhaps it will be unhacked and up again soon?

 

[CavLancer]

Belgian gits?

Does anyone have any news on what is happening with Apolyton?

The site is still down!

 

[Goodfella]

Maybe you're thinking of CivJunction? Funny times. Reminding me of it makes me even sadder we didn't get an april fools joke this year.

How on earth do you guys remember stuff from that long ago?

As with the Fair Folk, the Belgians have such a fearsome reputation on the 'net that most don't dare write their name. Those Chinese and E. European hackers who go after American sites? They're doing that because they were driven off their nation's own servers by the Belgians.

Yeah, it *is* just like the Turks and Huns attacking Europe because they're fleeing the Mongol hordes behind them.

Nobody's going to laugh at Poirot's little mustache any more.

Site still down. Any news?

 

[Archbob]

I know hackers serve a purpose, but most of them are just low-life scumbags, kind of like robbers and shoplifters.

 

[Traitorfish]

I thought most of them were bored teenagers?

Although, I suppose that's also true of shoplifters.

It looks like some hackers highjacked it. Plomp should be able to restore it from a back up but if the hackers got the back ups too....

Oh, and here's another poly refugee thread: http://www.counterglow.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47359

It's the reason I started posting here.

I realize that 'gravedigging' is frowned upon, but I haven't been able to reach 'Poly in a few days... anyone know what's happening over there?

It kept getting reeeeaaaallly slow then it just stopped working
Sometimes it's a connection timeout other times it just can't find the server

Solver says one of the hard drives on the server has died - he's on the case, and I'll post more when we know more...

 

[Buster's Uncle]

This just in: "The drive was replaced just a couple of hours ago. Will need a bit of re-configuring but most likely everything's coming up within a day. Maybe two"

 

[Kyriakos]

I didn't even know Apolyton still existed. It went downhill pretty fast after Christos wisely sold his share (and that was a lifetime ago).
In the early days, it was far larger than CFC.

Ahh cheers Buster. I'd contacted Solver a few days ago about it and he didn't know the cause yet then. I hadn't heard from him since so was worried he'd forgotten about it lol!
