Hey guys

Our domain Serebii.net has been stolen

I'm trying to get it back

Anyone been to the site? Apparently it says "Smogon" now....
 
Yeah I tried loading it a little while ago...

"You tried to access the address http://www.smogon.comindex2.shtml/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page."

Even though I entered, 'serebii'... not 'smogon'. Lol.
 
Please no Serebii bashing anyone here.

I know you don't like him, but stealing his domain is just...well, that's when the "fun" stops.
 
Well, well, well. Looks like someone forgot to renew their domain on time.

Oddly enough, the contact details for the domain name are still for Joe. Assuming those contact details are true and real, then there should be little trouble authenticating oneself as the real owner of the domain name.
 
I'd like to mention Serebii's post on his forum was very out of character....
 
The one I quoted in my first post, from Serebii Forums.
 
I don't think so... he's liable to be tackling the problem and doesn't have time to make informative, speeches... Short and to the point is what he has done.
 
Apparently reports are coming in that the problem has been fixed.
 
^^^
it seems to only be for certain people it's not working, try refeshing or clearing a cache.
 
It's working for me, but then again it seems my browser is always stuck in a cache (how do you change it in Opera?)
 
Some browsers have their own DNS cache, as do some operating systems, and definitely most ISPs and sometimes even the ISP of ISPs. The only way to have a DNS cache that is totally under your own control is run your own and use that one only.
 
Apparently now it's redirecting people to DigimonCCG.com...

I'd say Smogon probably doesn't have anything to do with it.
 
Yeah it loads up the official DigimonCCG.com site now. I can't believe the panic over at Serebii Forums though. It's ridiculous...
 
OF COURSE WE'RE PANICKING!

Some people need to get out more. No offence. It's not the end of the world, and it's not as though it's not going to be fixed. It's just a matter of time. If there IS a hacker on the Serebii Forums, all the finger-pointing and panicking is just what he/she'd want to see and can ONLY be further fueling them to continue hacking and causing general disruptions.

People just need to have some patience, faith and sense to believe that this hiccup is going to be fixed and there is no need not to be sensible.
 
It's time like this we need the Internet Police.

EDIT: FORUMZ ARE DOWNZ!

TEH INTERNETZ HAS BEEN ATTACKED!
