I also wonder the same thing. What's it look like initially?, and what's it been changed too?

The button at the bottom of this page that says MOTL homepage leads you there. Previously it was just a page with articles and some links that hadn't been updated since February 2015.

Now basically it has just been tagged by someone. My biggest concern isn't that they changed the website front page but that all of the passwords are stored unencrypted in plain text (passwords aren't even *'d out when you go to change it) so there is a chance all of the passwords have been compromised. This has been a concern of mine for a long time which is why the password I use here is one I don't use anywhere else.

Ben, when was the last time you reached out to owner/admins?

Edit: And to anyone concerned about Jen I'm sure he doesn't have the skills but i could imagine the moron committing a felony by asking someone else to.

Whoever runs the shop on the front page probably already has their IT guy on it.

Is the magic traders forum even on the same server as the front page?

Apparently different servers. What I just heard is "everything is all backed up and on a separate server than the front page". i expect the front page will be fixed soon. Hopefully we'll hear from a mod this week. Remember guys, play nice.

To what end? Hardly anyone knows of its existance.
If we stay around for a couple of more years it'll become an urban legend by itself.

Just kinda thinking out loud here, but would having a MOTL twitter account on the front page benefit the site? That or a facebook link possibly?

Once again just thinking out loud, but some sort of connection w/ social media seems appropriate for any site these days.
