Rock Band Forums: I’m Never Gonna Give You Up

The official Rock Band forums were Rick Rolled this morning.  Visitors to the site were treated to NSFW images from rotten.com and with Rick Astley music playing in the background.

The site was first attacked around 7:15 AM EST and was cleaned up roughly around 10:00 AM EST. Since we were sleeping in this morning, we found out about this on one of our favorite overseas sites: Consolehero.com. Thank you Tyler for letting us wake up without an alarm today :)

According to HMXJohnlok:

Hey folks. I am deeply sorry for the prolonged exposure to this morning’s attack. Our first report came in at 7:17AM EST this morning, which, of course, we weren’t able to respond to (until roughly 10AM EST) since we don’t have round the clock Harmonix coverage.

We have disabled HTML (indefinitely) in all forums+subforums, which should prevent any future attacks from getting so quickly out of hand. Thanks to those who reported the threads, and I would like to apologize again for the prolonged exposure some of you experienced earlier this morning.
