Monday - The Takeover

Hello, puzzlers. We woke up this morning to find that our beloved PuzzleCrack site had been taken over by the government! Unfortunately, they believe the hackers that helped us last year are terrorists and that we're accomplices.

However, throughout the day, somebody on the inside named "Mr. Pink" has been giving us help. Team "The Collective" was finally able to make clear contact with him and he moved our data to offshore servers. We've modified the government DNS servers so they still think our site is down. That should stop them from trying to take it down again.

We've saved the site they posted, though. You can access it here.
