Last week somebody already made a mention of this our forums, but it seemed that the Creative labs forums were down for a while. Creative now send around word that their vBulletin forum software was hacked. 

From my memory, this already happened a couple of time before. Creative now has closed down their forums indefinitely. Recent caches show that their forums had over 222,000 user accounts. When you visit the forums, it's apparent that Creative is not going back online with them.

Notice: We have discontinued our discussion forum permanently. For customer support, please visit www.creative.com/contactus. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
