I do know that praystation was re-released in its latest incarnation today, May 1...it's possible that Mr. Davis is just playing around.

Hup... think it is the May the 1st re-boot project for re-designing websites. Maybe Metafilter should have changed colour scheme to black and red for the day...

It's all Josh's work, that I know because he said it. It's probably part of the threeoh may1st thing. The inside of the Dreamless forum was also redesigned.

I don't know if it was hacked or what it looked like before, but that flash stuff looks cool now. Well on second look it looks like "We hacked you. Lazymuthafucka and Mobiusrunner. May 1, 2001. You ain't shit praystation." SO I guess it was hacked. I hope it wasn't some bible thumping site.

It is a nicely done hack (fits Praystation colors and everything) if that is what it really is...I guess if you were going to really hack Praystation, you would make it ugly and clunky.

Looks like the haxors also left a spec... Umm... I think it was an inside job.

To find the spec click residue (bottom of left hand nav), then click specs. Interesting reading.

I get the feeling this is one of those websites that's like a joke only a small percentage of geeks will ever get.
