Personally i think it is rather suspicious that while Weasyl 'claims' they were affected, they never really went down.
They claim it's their 'superior' web design, yet if anyone visits their site they will see a rather poorly made ui.
thumbnails generated at time of visit.
nav bars at the bottom instead of top.
user pages with full size images.
side bars with only ---- as the only separation between categories.
no categorization of media types, only 'browse all' and a ambiguous 'multimedia' category.
stuff that would make them 'easy' to swamp with a ddos.
Add to that the fact the way they poached users from other sites giving themselves a 'weasyl is a higher class furry site' while not discouraging this attitude from people who were accepted in their closed beta.
I think this was either payed for by them or payed for by one of their admins because if this was say 4chan's normal hate against furs we would of heard them taking credit by now.
