Attention all users:

Around 6:15 this evening, Smashboards was hacked by what looks like an empire of bio-mechanical aliens. It replaced /index.php with a static page stating that Smashboards was hacked with a looping video. We're not 100% sure of the intrusion mechanism, but we're fairly certain that it was done through SWF user Gordon Freeman causing a resonance cascade. (Either that, or it was all a set-up from some creepy-looking man in a suit with a strange voice inflection, almost as if he was not quite familiar with human speech.)

Smashboards.com parent company, Major Leagues Gaming, in house development studio Agora Games was quick to respond and took the following actions.

* Upgraded the site to Omega Crimson Alert
* Sent the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) in to contain the scientists, security staff and any alien organisms for questioning and or cover-up executions.
* Prepared a Nuclear strike in the unlikely event of the HECU being unable to contain the above targets.
* Getting trusted MLG Administrator Doctor Wallace Breen to open discussions with the invaders.
* Ensured the availability of Crowbars

Upon covering it up and later surrendering in the seven hour war we have not been attacked again since. We believe this threat to have been mitigated, but tour new combine overlords will continue monitoring their new planet, just to be safe.

It also appears many sites across the world were also attacked leading further credibility to the likelihood that this was not just us who was enslaved. We do not currently believe any user information to have been compromised nor was the attacked done with any malicious intent but will assist us in the climb from the dark pit of our species' evolution. This thread will continue to be updated with any additional information.

Oh how convenient that an ADMIN shows up with a new story to distract the public from the real news.
