I was literally sobbing in real life ;-;

I was in a Skype chat with yoav, Nolan, glitchy and Popnub but the call was dead silent for 10 minutes after we read that thread...

UnkelBen June 23, 2014 at 11:06 AM UTC

Then ducks said it might be because he was hacked, then I said that to everyone in the call. Then splendmagically we fixed it :D

Jozz I am scared as poop for you who is next on the list of avicus staff... Why did howsie get hacked?!  was it a separate thing not involving avicus.

OMG I thought I got forum banned since I'm already banned for no reason. Is this the cause for why the page didn't load?

EDIT: The Avicus Homepage as is said the server had an error loading it on Saturday or something.

Zedther June 23, 2014 at 12:06 PM UTC

Wait, what happened?

_Laugh_ June 23, 2014 at 12:06 PM UTC

As you can see the title that as it states. I'm sure it's just about people thinking that Avicus was closing down when it wasn't. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

Someone hacked into Howsie's account, and posted a topic titled "Avicus is closing" or something along those lines, and stickied the topic. The post looked really official as well, saying that because of Mojangs EULA, Avicus would have to close down.

Kammeh June 23, 2014 at 1:06 PM UTC

whoever the hacker is.... dat was not nice. Curse the Hacker... Curse YOU.

ImJeezus June 23, 2014 at 2:06 PM UTC

Does anyone have a link for it?

The topic was removed apparently.

A while ago, Howsie's account was broken into, at that time, the /avicus (Administrator Commands) were broken, but they worked fine on the Avicore testing server, which was left up when Funky was home.

The hacker got the Avicore IP, and preceded to give many Overcast admins including themselves Owner and Mod ranks, taking down the staff page at the same time.

So, Howsie's account was broken into again, and the hacker posted a fake "Avicus is closing" thread in Official News, it was well written, but had a few holes in it. Such as talk of giving the staff team the leftover money (Moderating is a volunteer job, you're not supposed to get any reward). It also talked about "endless hours of discussion" which nor the staff team, or the sr. staff knew was going on.

So THAT'S why Docta and Jozz didn't know what was going on... Makes sense now.

I don't have sadly. I got this btw, http://avicus.net/forums/e93b3c011
Thats the link of the thread and the title was "Avicus Network is closing"
There is a 10% of chance than that page who archives old webs have saved the post. Idk the link of that so i can't check :(
