Hi, does anyone log in to this web-page? I just came back from vacation and can't get in. Are they down or is this web-page discontinued?

Looks like they're having some server or hosting problems.

Try again later.

Their main page is back up, but their forums are still down.

Their message:

 

We will be operational approximately July 27th. Our Server was compromised and the server is being reloaded/upgraded. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Shotgunworld Staff

I wonder if that means that my username and password were also compromised?

[sdkidaho]

Hmm... yeah, that could suck.

[tucker301]

I called the tech handle for the site and left a message, but no reply.

I guess he's busy trying to put the thing back together.

In case anyone is wondering how often websites get attacked, take a look here.

It's up and running again.

Response from their staff when I asked if our accounts were safe:

 

Added by Shotgunworld:

You're passwords are safe. The code was 'injected' into server by a security flaw in an old script. The good news is that everything is now updated and patched, so we're much less vulnerable to hackers than two weeks ago.

Regards,

Jay

With Engrish skills like that, you have to feel good about the answer.
