Just got a chunk of new YoyoSkills articles in my RSS feed, ranging from “Tiger to release more Pokemon Yo-Yos” to “H-Spin Handquake 1.4b details come out”, which are from 1999. I took a look at the site, and found this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/0/7/f07a81da5c50552f871adb8d7cd95441fa77ec98.png) It’s complete with old articles, 90’s .gifs, and mouse tracking floating eyeballs. I’m under the impression that YoyoSkills has been hacked and rolled back to this. I wouldn’t suggest going to the site in case something malicious is intertwined. EDIT: Real funny Chris, you got me. ---

I would suggest it has something to do with the date. ---

lol the “first” entry from early 1999… > [@](#): > > Sorry to say this guys, but the database that housed most of the archive is gone and the post and comments with it. Lesson learned though, I am now backing my database up monthly just in case. I have a brand new IOMEGA ZIP Drive from CompUSA that I have set to back up to my 100MB disk every week! With that much storage (and a stack of disks) I should be good for years!!! ---
