To further this, the original quote "all of your bases..." was a result of a poor translation from a Japanese video game.

If you don't remember this, then you're not old enough to be surfing the web without parental supervision.

"The inability to get on to the site and the poor grammar had some YouTube fans believing that the site had been hacked."

If you don't know what that refers to, then you shouldn't be writing on a tech website.

Go Google "All your base are belong to us" or look the phrase up in Wikipedia. This gag has been around for a long time. Follow this link for the "music video".

'All Your Base' reference added

We've updated the story to more fully explain the "All Your Base" reference. We think the fact that not all YouTube users got the allusion was part of the reason many of them believed the site had been hacked. Thanks for all your comments on this late-breaking story.
