The WE site appeared to be hostage all day Sunday, but good it was only one day. Weird definitely describes their theme music.

Is this a joke? I didn’t view the site on Sunday, but very early Monday everything was normal.

No joke here, I’m no where near this original.
Now if it had been hijacked by the dwarves in Time Bandits…that would be more my style.

I’m digging through my deleted history to see if I can find a picture of the flag. I’m glad somebody else seen it, or I would think I was the one hacked.

– No luck, maybe somebody else was thoughtful enough to grab a screen shot like I should have done.

Just google “wickededgeusa.com” and I think it will still pop up…

*edit: nevermind, apparently it’s fixed. It was like this all the way up until last night if I recall correctly.

It’s true. Robert Huffman noticed it on Sunday and let me know. The front page was being redirected to Security Lions or something, a Syrian hacktivist group. The landing page had some message about the US sponsoring terrorist groups in Syrian villages and that this was a reprisal. Thankfully our webmaster got it straightened out in a few minutes of me letting him know. Fortunately the rest of the site was unaffected so most people visiting the forums wouldn’t have even noticed. Thank you Robert Huffman for pointing it out!

That is very weird, I was hear on and off all day yesterday and never saw it. I have the home page bookmarked, maybe that made a difference. Glad I wasn’t affected.
