Hi Everybody-
Original: Pixels has been attacked—and brought down—at least eight times in the last twenty-four hours up to about six or seven p.m. Wednesday.
2nd UPDATE: PIXELEX is working for uploads. It is not working for browsing the site. Most site features are back online.
3rd UPDATE: It seems as if things have stabilized and we have secured the site.
4th UPDATE (1 a.m. Thursday): All is still quiet on the western front. This is good.
We may simply launch the new site on a new server without worrying about the old content right now. Almost twenty gigabytes of photos. A two-hundred megabyte database. I won’t bore you with the details. Changes coming soon.
My apologies. Thank you all for your support.
Knox
how sad. could they not have picked something more worthwhile to put offline….
..and I just thought you hated all my recent submissions – lol
I honestly believe that it was MOMA so that all us Pixies would be re-directed there. Gosh they’re so jealous….
why? what do they hope to achieve? crazy!
It happens all the time – spammers look for sites they can inject malware code into so as to redirect visitors to other sites. I was just kidding about Eye’em. :)
A hipstamatic mime shot? Where??? Pic of the YEAR. Can I get an amen?
Actually, it happened again. It’s an injection of redirect code. It wasn’t done properly, or we would have found ourselves at some weird porn site. Or offshore drugstore. Or Eye’em. :)
First person that sprang to mind for me also!
People are strange. Probably that disgruntled weirdo. Hope it doesn’t happen again.
Someone had one to many of their hipstamatic mime shots rejected by Knox and snapped
Knew something fishy was going on when I couldn’t get on today, glad you sorted it. Pretty scary stuff though Knox :-s
