All the pages are still up. Just go to http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php instead of just www.wc3sear.ch.

Looks like these geeks have hit multiple pages. A simple Google[tm] search for "hackbsd" returns multiple hits with the same message on each site.

hacking is a very harsh way of looking at it. i prefer to think of it as pest controll, exterminateing all the paracitical modders. at least on a temporary basis

Hackers are really a bunch of losers who feel they have to prove they are clever to the rest of the world. They only show how stupid they are!

Actually those hackers are a well known group. They dont hack to get into sites or as revenge, they hack into something and then use that knowledge to improve their own work and in many cases, improve the thing they hacked into with knowledge to the owner of how they did it.

Search will be back up in a day or two. The modding world wont come crashing down because Search is down for a coupla days.

I'm sure Darky will have it up and running as soon as possible.

The surprise of seeing that pic gave me a good laugh. Though I hope our files aren't damaged. Models, skins and so forth.. reuploading all of that would take ages. :/

Nah, if the hackers were serious they would have screwed the site up. As it is they just hijacked the index page. As i said, these guys arnt really assholes.
