Yeah, they've been off the air for a few days.

They might be going through some sort of financial crisis, I think. There was a topic there the other day about how to raise funds to keep them going.

Whether there's any connection between that and their recent disappearance, I really don't know.

Bigsoccer was hacked and presumably took bigfooty with it.

It wouldnt be any loss if bigfooty dissapeared its become well known for a place where losers and low life dead beats congregate, well actually i suppose somewhere on the net has to accomodate for these very sad malfunctional hypocritical skanks and whores and other low life social misfits.

The site does nothing but give the 'voiceless'a voice i guess,well i think they believe they actually contribute half or perhaps 3/4 of users on bigfooty dont even follow football..its amazing how in all communities where by idiots attract idiots and they sort of feel they are impportant and worthwhile when in actual fact you'd find more intelligence in vomit laying outside some sleazy night club in the city.

Its a negative site accomodated by very negative people ( moderators included ) if used in a positive manner it could become a very powerful site a sort of voice of all supporters..but try telling idiots the power of being positive you'd only get that dumb vacant stare..you see idiots and social misfits get off being negative and dragging other people down to that level because thats all they understand..its a place for annonymous people with annonymous brains and personalities a very dangerous mixture indeed.

I guess the real truth is its a place for very lonely people who put on false persona's in an attempt to make friends they should be pitied rather than laughed at.

What is wrong with this freak???? SURELY something can be done. I've looked into legal avenues, but I'm starting to think of other options. He has to realise there's such a thing as going too far.

Dear BigFooty users,

BigFooty was compromised early yesterday morning. This was a malicious attack and the authorities are involved.

While the database server is separate, much of the data became corrupt due to it being accessed as the site was going down.
Rather than go throught the long process of retreiving all the data, in the name of expediency, we have restored from an old version.

New posts and users will be gone. We ask you to bear with us during this and please post any problems you may encounter in the suggestions forum. Thank you for your patience.

I was beginning to think they had decided to take it offline because it is too expensive.
