Introducing WrongPlanet.net 2.0!

By on January 23, 2005

After working on streamlining the original, and in my opinion clunky, theme for WrongPlanet.net, I am finally able to announce WrongPlanet.net 2.0. If you liked the old theme better, you can always switch back to it. Please note that I'm having some difficulties with the colorsync profile on my computer so the site will look weird in Safari, but I'll fix that soon. Please comment on the new theme!

WrongPlanet suffers from attacks

By on September 5, 2004

WrongPlanet suffered some downtime as a result of multiple serious attacks to our server. These attacks could have been directed towards WrongPlanet, although it is highly likely that another one of the websites on the same server was targetted instead of WrongPlanet. A security professional has been brought in to analyze the attacks and pinpoint their source. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.
