I've been trying to get on FFXI Wiki for over an hour and kept getting no response, so I tried to check out their forums to see if there was any news.
Oh boy..

the forums have been down since early last night, after Taj got info. The were taken down due to the hack as well as a mass attack of posters calling out wiki on their own forums.
As for the site, could be down to prevent Vandalizing of the boards.
Well that was an interesting light read.. Two observations:
1) I'm not gonna condone hacking for anyone. I used to do it. But seriously if you leave your system that insecure these days you deserve to get your dirty laundry sent to the cleaners.
2) Sev needs to make a cat pic with the caption 'I iz BG cat. I'z in ur wiki admin account, pwning u."

Yep, and would you be surprised if one day we see BG admins cashing their website out?
I don't think they'd do it with money from a non-profit fundraiser though.
I don't doubt it, but I suspect that BG would be far more open about it. That's the thing, if they had been open and honest from the beginning, this shitstorm probably wouldn't have hit the proportions they had. Lying, dishonesty etc - honestly, it's like a fly to shit for a lot of internet users.

oh great.... ruined a good source of info, because people wanted to be ass holes..... way to go morons.....
oh and btw.... BG is going to suck
It it still intact btw, The wiki admin (Mierin) talked a bit publicly about it, she/he is gonna get in shit as she states about the situation by the wiki admins. On page 14 http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/vie...sd=a&start=390
It sucks the site is down, not what either side wanted tbh.

Bg would probably take the I'm getting paid for this lol now approach >.>
Mierin tried to talk to them... and gets attacked pretty much, this is what I am talking about, people are taking this way to far -.-
Their are people who attack on both sides, unfortantly it got too far before anyone tried to handle it on either side tbh. The classic quote there was calling the wiki info their info, its the communities, but none the less there will be 3 wikis within an month.
