Lest anyone be confused, this is Epik the web hosting company[1], not Epic Games the videogame company[2], or Epic Systems the healthcare software company[3].

  While I wasn't going to get it confused with any other Epics, I had no idea what Epik with a K was.

    Epyx published Jumpman on the Commodore 64. Loved that game.

      I had thought that was by Epic (Megagames back then). I was wrong. Maybe I got Jumpman mixed up with Jill of the Jungle.

> Epik was founded in 2009 by Rob Monster The founder's name is like from The Onion article.

  The whole site looks like it's parody information ("epic" with a K, "Rob Monster", nazi stuff, etc) but it becomes weirder when you realize they aren't parodying anything and all of it is accurate.

    Very interesting that Anonymous went after them. I guess it just goes to show you that Anonymous is nobody's puppet, however much any given cause would like to consider them its personal army. Apparently NOT Epik's personal army: far from it.

Thanks, I thought it was Epic Systems and was worried about all the healthcare data flowing.
