New... or just back?

Post by K&BDesigns »

Hello, everybody.
I could say that I'm one of many people that where registered in the old PoP site.
So, I'm back, though I don't remember what username I used to use...
What exactly happened to site? I though it was gone.

Here's a short history of the princed.org and popuw.com forum stuff.
In March 2003, princed.com.ar started using the cnu.net.ar forum (archive here).
At the end of March 2004, the forum moved to forum.princed.com.ar.
In April 2005, popuw.com was being registered.
In October 2007, princed.org was being registered and the forum.princed.com.ar forum moved to princed.org on November 2008.
For two years, popuw.com was down (July 2009-July 2011). Back then, some of the popuw.com members were already posting at princed.org, some joined princed.org, other people(*) never found princed.org.
In April/May 2012, princed.org was hacked by S@D H@cK3r.
The first half of April 2013, princed.org was being moved to a new server but kept the same princed.org URL.

(*) You probably were in this group, until recently. ;)

Pretty sure it was from 2008.

I think it was hacked around Feb/March 2012.

Anyways, these are all just pointless details. ;)
