Dang guys, I'm sorry about asking about a web site... My bad. Didn't think it would cause so much trouble. I appologize...

IMHO, mistakes are made, stuff happens. Best thing to do is learn from it and not do it again, and heck, if it keeps someone else from making the same mistake, all the better. No worries!

Nah, you're forgiven since you weren't banned. Nobody's really to say that you weren't. Half of these people here are probably on that site anyways.

Of course it is, and our domain is now back up and working. Within 24 hours it should be repopulated onto the internet, so dont worry if its not working for you just yet.
YAY! I can remove the hosts entry then

That doesn't explain why, just what, which is now very apparent, although it would have been nice to have a link from slideme.com to the new site so people like me weren't left wondering.
Nor did they even bother to email app coders before or since doing this, it's really very bad for them since they have a user base used to going to the old URL and suddenly there is nothing but a sign up that it's down till further notice.
I haven't yet divined the relationship between xda-devs and ppcgeeks, so maybe it's more Cain and Abel than Yin and Yang - but anyone here know why PPCGeeks is down?
Before it went offline the site started redirecting me to some torrent/porn malware site. It happened with every form link. Then it went offline. Then I came back to XDA and I no longer feel the need to make an abundance of waffles to fill the void.
All is well...for now.
It seemed to be redirecting earlier to a dupedb--quick searching on the name took me to a neowin's forum post about a similar hijacking they had.
awww such a shame, I guess douchey moderating eventually comes back to bite them!

similar to douchey irrelevant posting I'm sure. Thanks for contributing and proving the vast superiority of your maturity in contrast to ppcgeeks ... moving on and thanks to those who posted info.
It was a redirect to dupedb that was injected into their code. This can either be due to a vulnerability with the software versions they use on their server, compromised administrative credentials, or other stupid stuff.
My guess is that the site was taken offline in order to fix the problem.

It's ok though because while most of Google HQ was playing jokes, some sneaky engineer got this for Haykuro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656121. Everything's going to be okay as this runs on phones (and a lot of other things as well) as is.

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha
