um anti static as in the silvery ones heh if so your lucky you didnt smoke your mother board thoose things are electricaly conductive thats how they work.
They are the same as whats know to scientists as a farous cage meaning if lighting (in the case of the anti static bag a static discharge) goes around the object or person harmlessly.
But the anti staic bags placed under a mother board thats powered on can and will short out your mother board.
When you need to power up your mother board out side of a case use the pink foam stuff mother board normaly ship with to set it on antistatic bags are a no no
