Just because it shows an error does NOT mean that its been "hacked". Get your facts right, it was likely just a simple read error or site update that caused it. Nothing to do with any hacker activity. So how about next time you just say that the site is down, and then the dev's can get onto fixing it, and saves others who read your post title from freaking out about the security of their accounts in LOTRO.

That link in firefox goes to the signup page and the only problem that the page has is it takes a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time to load up.
Although in fairness not quite as long as if you then click the link on there to go to lotro.com

Please don't throw around the word "hacked" so easily. It tends to arouse concern.

It's been hacked by Turbine staff. A lousy, broken community software like this without any improvement or maintenance over years must be something they keep on purpose. My only explanation is that they want to keep the community on the forums as inactive and frustrated as possible.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]"HELP!!!!??"[/COLOR] is not an appropriate thread title.
Only fools use [COLOR="#FF0000"]apostrophes[/COLOR] in a plural. That's when they're called fool's apostrophes.

The site was not hacked... if you're getting that particular error, try clearing your cookies. That usually resolves it.
