Looks like Malcor is at it again. With “his” love to disable Apple-centric sites or sites that are just too heavy on Apple “propaganda”, Maclor simply hacks the site with a picture of rotting apples and the message (full sized image):
Notice
This website has been flagged for excessive Apple fanboism, and has been taken down for 24 hours.
This is a message to the rest of the Mac community, so listen up. Ever heard of hubris?
Tone it down, and you will not be attacked. Everyone else is open game.~ malcor
Nothing glamorious, just painful for the website administrator to clean up. Maclor has been on a renegade path to shut down “fanboy” sites one day at a time and the question is, which will be the next site?
Excuse us now while we find something we can say nice about Microsoft so we can get that into a post. (Thankfully, we have been posting lots of non-Apple stuff lately. 
)
UPDATE: This was just a hoax. I’m very disappointed in MacApper (its response) and MacHeist and the other sites that “teamed” up to do this. Just not right and plain stupid. MacApper’s blaming of WordPress and it’s security was suspicious and caused undo pain to thousands of readers running WordPress. I enjoy reading MacApper but I’ll always wonder about it’s editoral opinion on software reviews and such in the future.
