We are very sorry, but due to some immature bastard 'hacking' us during the middle of the freakin night, I've had to suspend all web2messenger activity untill I've got time to fix things tomorrow...
In the mean time, please do not trust messages from web2messenger bots...
Thank you for your understanding

Today, Web2Messenger.com went offline at around 6:32PM (Central Time). Since the site went down, rumors have been flying all over sites that it had been hacked. I sat down personally and talked to the developers and coders of this project, and I assure you that they were not hacked. A vulnerability was found in the code, which forced the site to be taken offline. The problem is getting recified, and the service will return online shortly.
Again, I re-assure you no hacking was done and these rumors are not true. While we are talking about Web2Messenger here are some stats on it. In under 2 weeks of the service going invite only roughly 1250 people have already signed up for the service. Well over 5000+ messages have been sent. And a whopping 3.5 million hits have been made.

They were either hacked, or TB went and randomly messaged people saying it was.

Notice the quotes TB used in his post. They were not hacked, a vunerability was found.

Indeed. Then that was replaced with a more formal message:
quote:
Sorry for the inconvenience but Web2Messenger has been forced to temporarially close for maintenance. We hope to have everything running smoothly soon.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
I dunno. It happens all the time, you put something up in anger, and then have to clear that up, since you're giving a service and want people to trust you.
Hack, hack, hack!
Finally became a Systems Analyst!

Or in reality it's just that TB has no sense of formal messages  He may be an awesome programmer but his public relations suck  |

No slash on the end or the script will think that your username is "chestah/"
The Forum should be back online now... Let me know if it isn't.
Edit again: Site is now back to normal [now someone just needs to bump this thread for me ]
