Yup... they were hacked by script kiddies and apparently, aren't serious enough about their site to have it up again in 24-48 hours... It was taken down sometime on the 22nd or 23rd and it's still down. I'm a little ticked. How many subscribers do they have besides me? You would think they would have busted their butts to get the site back up or at least a message with an ETA. Nope... nothing. Sure... you can say "But it's the holidays..." but it was the holiday for me too, and I ran my kids and adults martial arts classes, was on-call for work, worked on 3 commissions and updated my art website and my martial arts school website.... as well as spent time with my girlfriend, spent time with my family and nieces and nephews, and did some personal training... And I'm one person... how many people are there over at Poserstyles? They had problems with the site the last time I had a subscription and I let it lapse because it took them WAY too long to get it up and running. They have subscribers... customers... clients... whatever you want to call us... so they need to treat it like it's a business - because it IS. That means... if you're site goes down, you bust your butt to get it up ASAP! When my site goes down, I'm on the phone immediately with my ISP, hoster or whoever I need to talk to in order to get it up ASAP. Heck, I've switched hosting providers in 24 hours because my site was down and I was happy with their response time in getting it back up. That's part of being a business owner and caring about your clients. Has there even been an official post here on the forums to let their customers know what happened?
