==Controversy with praisethevoid.xyz==
In 1999, the site praisethevoid.xyz was featured with the entry "place which thinks they can bring back some Void god". Although this entry was changed due to not being neutral enough, later on the user "YourOnlyProphet" started constantly editing the entry to praise the Void god and promise a return. Eventually, the site was down for 11 hours due to a DDOS attack.This was one of the 2 sites, including exposingvoid.xyz, that was affected.
