We're back... ! We're back after a short hiatus. We had to shut down for a while due to a VERY high increase in traffic to the site. Thank you for being patient with us. Please extend your patience for a bit longer as we settle back into things.
Our server was hit by a group of Rick Astley "fans" who also attacked other TH sites today. The link to this group's "attack plan" is HERE.
We're sorry about the inconvenience... We're trying our best to keep things afloat. We're asking, again, for your patience and trust. We've backed up the site in full.
Here's something YOU can do to help us. It's easy, free, and MANDATORY. SIGN UP FOR OUR SITE MAILING LIST. We cannot stress this enough - we get bombarded by individual emails whenever stuff like this happens, too much to even deal with. If you all JOINED THE MAILING LIST, then we could spread the word with one simple email!
In the recently controversial words of Mr. Astley, we're never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. :)

Who's Rick Astley? And who the hell would take the time to actually do that? Have they no lives? 9_9

I'm sure there is a link to who Rick Astley is on the first page of comments.

Hahaha! Are you kidding me? I thought the TH-fans were aggressive, but damn! This is hilarous! Okay, not you guys but in general. Thanks for your hard work once again :)

Wow, what a shame that this happened! Thanks for doing so much to sustain this place though! Very much appreciated!

guys, seriously, why don't we just hack them back, then claim that a Perez Hilton fan did it? That way we could get back at Perez Hilton for taking the p*ss out of TH, then we could get back at the Rick Astley fans too.
...
so... anyone here a hacking expert? xD

no...we shouldn't do that, that's just stooping to their level.

This whole thing is scaring me O_O I don't want those sorts of things to "accidentaly" end with the "disparition" of this site. Is that even possible? Do you remember guys, the person with the member account "VOTE4RICK" she/he is certainly for something behind all this ne?
- eiri on 11/08/08 07:06 pm
God, this is so idiotic. I mean, Rick Astley already won so what the hell? I mean, this is pretty stupid and pathetic.
- eloquenceisdead on 11/08/08 07:20 pm
Vote4Rick, the guy who has an account here has nothing to do with the attacks.
- starburst on 11/08/08 09:42 pm
no, it's not vote4ick behind it, he was actually pretty decent and even changed his ads when arianne asked.
- spilled milk on 11/08/08 10:15 pm
omg that is sooo juvenile of them to do!!! in the first place why even do it? just because rick didnt win doesnt mean that people dont like him though...thats just a really childish thing to do.
- MeinSchuh on 11/08/08 11:05 pm
he DID win, but he wasn't there and didn't get his award.
- spilled milk on 11/08/08 11:05 pm
... never gonna turn around and desert youuu
- on 11/08/08 11:30 pm
OMFG. I never even heard of Rick till I saw those VOTE4RICK signs, so i looked him up and was like, yeah. I know this song. It sucks. Why is he nominated? Oh yeah. Computer hackers and their intense skill. okay. then he wins. cool, there were way more deserving nominees, but whatever. then his sad little fans do this? HONESTLY? If anyone should be acting anyone (and no one should be) it would be the fan's of people who lost. WTF? People like them scare me. Rick won. Congrats. Move on. Stop being computer hackers with the maturity level of a 10 year old.
Anyway. Thanks for getting the site back up and doing such a great job :) btw, love the new picture at the top :D
