Cool, that's good to know. I was afraid somebody hacked the site...though it would be a pretty stupid hack, albeit annoying. Good to know my favorite site on the net will be back to normal...soon.

I cleared the cache on my machine and its still messed up, do you have any sort of a server farm with replication going on that could be messed up?  Or is it a DNS propagation issue?

yea it was a DNS issue ... domain went onto the registrar's NS servers for a little time.
Some ISPs cached that info ... so error went on for a few hours for some people. Most should be back OK now I hope.

Still have the same problem with the forums - and now xbox-scene.com shows a "Page Under Construction" message. Good luck with all of this.

Did u reboot your PC since problem occurred? (cleans your local pc NS cache)

Also try
CODE
ipconfig /flushdns
from the 'cmd' prompt.

Thanks, that did the trick. I just though it was weird, because the problem with the actual site (domain under construction) didn't start for me until today.

You'll probably have to clear the browser's cache as well.
Its likely caching the images still.

Yeah, its a real pain in the ass, but fortunately this is an extremely rare occurrence.

The only other time I remember seeing this was years back, though nobody complained then.

All the images were replaced with random variants of porn.
