I have yiianswers.com up and running again… sorry the inconveniences… will also look onto area51
Area51 is like the try-out of a new Q&A site. The very popular (and probably well known here as well as there are already quite a few Yii tagged questions on there) StackOverflow was the start of the StackExchange network and since then people have been able to make suggestions regarding new Q&A sites for Android developers, Server admins, people learning Chinese, etc.
All of those started on Area51 to get a critical mass going (enough motivated users/good questions/clear answers) before going live.
The advantage over the current Yiianswers is the fact that all of the StackExchange sites are connected (I assume many here already have a StackOverflow account for instance), the fact that the software is incredibly well made and constantly updated (it’s what they do) and we don’t have to worry about server issues or hackers like you’ve already encountered.
Also, since you have Yiianswers up and running again (nice work!), we could use the best questions and answers to get the basic requirements quite quickly!
Unfortunately the idea for a standalone Yii site as part of the StackExchange network has been shot down due to conflicting with the StackOverflow website (the Zend proposal which was already in Commitment status was also closed, strangely enough the Symfony2 one was reopened).
Their suggestion is to use StackOverflow as the main website for Yii related questions by using the Yii tags instead of a different website, which I can actually understand and see the advantages of.
@Antonio: have you used StackOverflow before you started yiianswers? Can I ask what your reasoning was for having a separate website? Just being curious 
yiianswers.com is not suspended, maybe i posted the message before the DNS were updated internationally… please try again, making sure you clear your browser cache settings
Cheers
The idea of having an specialized Yii dedicated questions and aswers was very appealing. I really would like to do one built on Yii… but don’t have time 
, maybe build one on github?
I have something in the works, very early stages - will put it on Github in a month or two…
Cheers Antonio, it’s working, sorry for the false alert 
good to see Yiianwsers is back online !!
Thanks!
There’s a note on the website that it has been hacked - I consider Yii to be quite secure, so I’m curious how they got in (and how they may get in my sites 
)?
Regards,
@zeroByte note that this site is not created with Yii but with wordpress
As for Yii… Yii core code is secure as is checked constantly by anybody working on it… but this does not meant at all that nobody can get into your site… as that depends on other circumstances… like the way you write your code (you can create an exploit)… or the hosting company… or even your email (or any other resource) security as if somebody gets the hold of your email account then he can get access to your server/website too…
nice answer
I like the idea of a dedicated Q&A site for Yii as I’m a big fan of both the stack exchange network and Quora - unless we are looking at something like yii answers being brought into the fold of the official Yii website I think it will struggle to gain acceptance as the goto place for answers. More importantly I think most people will use a search engine to find their answer so using a well established site like stack or quora means we could get answers out there, help people solve problems and reduce the duplicate questions in the forum - which is the real goal here is it not.
This is all still relatively new so I’ll watch to see what happens, and I’ll try to post and answer on Yiianswers.com as well as other sites too. Great job, would obviously love to have seen it done in Yii, but only because that would be a great, visible illustration of the things Yii can do - though I would have probably done it in WP or Drupal too).
Good luck
Really great idea, helpful and well done.
It looks like a familly-stackoverflow 
Thanks
Looks like the site is affected with malware…
Same here.
AVG raises an alert message when trying to access the site : Threat name is : Exploit Blackhat SEO (type 1720) … I have no idea what this is, but it’s scary
Unfortunately, I am going to remove the site… wordpress sucks big time and I am tired of being hacked by people… I will keep the domain yiianswers, and try to find the time to do it with Yii… unable to secure something I do not control.
I got alert saying this web is not safe?
