Hey guys,

as some of you have seen, our sub has been taken hostage about half an hour before this post.

Another moderator's reddit account has been breached and used in an active reddit takeover affecting multiple other subreddits, including high profile names such as /r/NFL.

This account removed all of the newer, active mods, so we were unable to do anything about it for a few minutes. Thanks to /u/cryogen who after 11 years of this sub's existance, is thankfully still active on reddit and could us give our mod powers back.

Everything should be back to normal now, and the hacked moderator has been removed.

ADDITIONALLY!!!

Enable 2-factor authentication if you haven't! Also, double-check to see that it's still enabled as we've been getting reports that some people who had set it up saw that it had been turned off.
