Unfortunately, the hpnwn.net address is being overrun with spam bots. As such, that domain will remain unavailable for quite a while to give the spam bots time to stop hitting that domain so hard. We therefore are going to permanently keep the forums at their current location. Links that refer to other posts within the forums will be broken. The fact that the domain has changed doesn't really matter, as Nuke handled things differently and simply going to PHPBB3 means the links get broken anyway.

To fix a broken link, replace:
http://www.hpnwn.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic
with:
http://forums.wohp.net/viewtopic.php?

So
http://www.hpnwn.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1098
would become
http://forums.wohp.net/viewtopic.php?&t=1098

FWIW, I wouldn't suggest going on the old site at all. Just going on the site makes you run the risk of getting a really nasty trojan horse virus. It is embedded within the script of hpnwn.net so even Firefox' script blocker won't save you.

Any decent virus detection software automatically shuts down connection to the site. Avast, ftw.

They really did a number on that poor nuked site.

The old Nuke site tragically ceased functioning with no action from us, at least depending on the OS and browser used, and depending on if you have a decent virus blocker. It would still function when viewed from a Mac or PC running Linux. It's cause of death was simply that we left it to the mercy of the spammers for another week after the site was transferred. Read: It's a -very- good thing we moved the site when we did.

The old site has been detached from the internet. http://www.hpnwn.net is now simply a brick-wall page that directs people to the server to get the new address. It's not an automatic redirect, nor is there a link to the current site, due to the massive number of spammers still attacking that domain name. We don't want their systems to start flagging our new site. Feel free to check it out, there's not much there but it's not unsafe any more.
