Hey yeah you're right, what happened? I never really went there much, but it's pretty weird how they'd close down a very active forum. Maybe it was hacked again? I don't know..

I dont get why people would hack the site? It was a great photoshop resource with an active community.

I remember when they were first hacked. They brought the site out again and it was 100% better. They should've done the same thing. But they should've moved to a new host, since the one they were on was easy to hack. And he probably shouldn't have used Cpanel since everyone knows how to hack them.

they should have given it a new name instead of chaosgfx and alias should have a different name cos as soon as hackers see that again they will wanna hack lol

They got hacked a few times, Alias never made a back up and couldn't be bothered starting it up again so he closed the site. He has now started another site called your-sig.com which should be up soon (I think).
