Guinness Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 http://www.wgcshop.com/ Oddly, it appears that WGC is either going through a major site overhaul or they have been attacked. All product on every page and every section including the home page is...well, gone. Usually the great folks at WGC do this type of work Sunday-into-Monday as they do not work on the 'weekend'- as well, usually this type of site upgrade/revision would take place behind the scenes and they would just upload or replace the visible site with the new changes- the fact that we are seeing the site in this state is very unusual. For most of us 'westerners' our Sunday is actually their Monday- but the fact that there is no announcement on their home page, which they always do in this type of situation, is strange. Before the 'expert opinions' about this start, may I please request no goofy theories (other than my goofy conspiracy theories ) are floated- In other words if you have seen something somewhere stating they were going to be down this weekend, great- let us know. Other than that, this is kind of concerning based on how they usually operate the site- I mean they are basically missing the biggest shopping day of the week- and they just don't do that without letting their customers know. ....It's probably because of those damn WGC Custom M16's- they dropped the price into the basement, I was going to order a couple of them!!! Now what dammit!?!?!?! Slainte! -G Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Damn, I wanted to pick up an M16 from there too. Hopefully they get it back together soon. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 They were hacked by angry noobs who wanted cheaper chinese guns meh... no idea, I'll give them a call tomorrow if the site is still messed up, sound good? Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I suspect it has to do with the fact that the G+P MK18 mod0 (WGC custom version supposedly, although nothing I can see was added to make it custom) was listed at $3737. That, or terrorists. Link to post Share on other sites
NickN Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If somebody wanted to deface the site, they would do a hell of a lot more than just remove all the products. The entire website would be severely screwed up. Link to post Share on other sites
Mig1 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 The products are probably pulled from a database. The web page being up and showing no products most likely means that the database is down or that the web server can't connect to it. Could also be data corruption in the database, or something else entirely. Link to post Share on other sites
