Hi everyone,
I just thought that I would ask here. Is anyone else being told that the SpartanBloks forum is down or being redirected to a website about Turkish Independence?
Cheers mates!

I can confirm that it is down for me, as well.

Just checked it and it is still down, 404 not found error, can't speak to the re-direct to other website.

Anyone know what's happened to SpartanBloks yet? :/

It seems to have been hacked by some Turkish hacker group, Ayyildiz. If you search the site in google, there's some Turkish chat board listing a bunch of sites that apparently have been hacked (or at least, that's what it seems like).

Jeez. Well I somehow think that SB might be down for good.

Dang the torpedoes and cry havoc amd let slip the dogs of war!
Ah well, it had a decent run at least. Kind of sad to see it go the way of the dinosaurs if the SB admins can't get it fixed.
I really hate using FB to post stuff about MB, although it seems to have become a more popular platform for talking about MB.

Has there been any update?
I wasn't a member of SpartanBloks, but it's been a great source of information with a lot of shared memberships over the years.
I'd hate to see it vanish, especially after we so recently survived a host extinction...

No update I know of. Pretty sure PK (the admin there) left a couple years ago..

I haven't seen or heard any update either. I usually check it once or twice a day with no luck.
It kinda sucks because it had a lot of the more recent blind pack codes, not to mention a lot of cool MOC's that I used for inspiration.

Hm. Yep still not working for me, either. A bunch of folks on another Mega forum have said it's not working for them, and all of them used to have SB accounts. I'm pretty sure SB is just dead. Full stop.
I might create an SB 2.0, let me know if anyone here would be interested? Realistically, I think that Bloks Forum is a perfectly fine replacement, really.

Hey guys.
The site owner has been in contact with us (mods and admin).
He was able to remove the hacker page but all the site information was lost.
That includes the main SB site not just the forums.
He is currently working on rebuilding the site and locating backups.
Needless to say it will definitely be a while before the site and forums are back up again.
I wish I had better news but that is where it stands at the moment.
Pretty much everyone from SB has or had a bloksforum account (I had to register again because of the site change), so I guess we'll be here more often at least for the time being.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.
