It is simply someone with a talent for cracking passwords. Bones2112 can't spend the time right now fighting the morons. This has been going on for about a year now. Earlier this year it was real hackers with a purpose. The latest geniuses are just kids with nothing better to do. Right now, I am locked out of the server by the bastards.

Despicable!

Okay, first I will say that it is pretty stupid.

I must say this, though... it is kind of ironic (even if stupid and childish, and I do NOT condone it) that a skins site, was, erm, skinned.

No seriously, I really think it is dumb, but I had to mention that... it came to mind. Please don't roast me up for it, like I said, it just came to mind.

your point of the irony of the situation is duly noted Sembetu....ridiculous & ironic at the same time.....seems like life is full of moments like this

It still just boggles my mind that there are people out there who have nothing better to do than to destroy other people's hard work. They think it's funny, but it's just pathetic. Plain and simple, it's just pathetic.

I agree, Jinny. I just hope that iNSoMNiA won't trash any more places. If the same energy was spent making a great new skin or artwork I think it would show a great deal more prowess at the keys and add to ones reputation in a much better way. Trashing a site is just another form of vandalism, and if it causes data damage and/or access problems it should be viewed as a form of terrorism- and punished as such.

yeah Jinny & Wiz....there seems to be those who want to tear down & destroy things others have built that have great merit & positive impact for respective communities at large

We all have so little time and to waste it like this is quite sad IMHO.

First rule when dealing with a hacker is never repeat their name. They are seeking notoriety and just mentioning a name is all they really want.

OMG!!! I hate that. Mine was hacked as well. And then got a stroke. Hmmm, a know password?

Just went to SA and can't get onto the site. Error 404: The document you requested is not found. I can understand why Tom had to shut the site down.

I get a 404 too. Bastards. All hackers should have their gonads removed as a reminder of what it's like to lose something which is important to you...

It's probably just down for good now. Sucks. I've always been worried that people would hack my site. But then I remember that nobody goes to my site, so I'm probably safe.

When Stalin, Hitler, Mou, Polpot took over they killed the artists. Look what camp this hacker is in!

Just tried to get on and this is what I got.

error 403: Forbidden! The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated.

A sad day for all of us!

Skaniartistry is gone for now. Hopefully someday it can make a comeback. When it does, watch out DA.

Gone but not forgotten.
