You mean you don't have a tin foil hat now? Man, are you in trouble.

I had thoughts that a certain corporation maybe getting a bit nasty. 'Damn you people of openess, attack!'

MS shut them down and paid them not to tell anyone!

Um, im not sure how to take the above comment about MS, but we at openclipart.org are just having server issues,

as of a couple of hours ago, the wiki have been put back online, and hopefully, the website will follow soon...

just keep checking, and hopefully all the opencliparty goodness will be back before soon!

cheers,
