    It was hacked earlier this morning. Doesnt look like it was anything serious. Just the front page of the site taken down. The actual forum was still working fine

    I have fixed the issue this morning and am still investigating what exactly it is that happened.

    At this stage it looks like it was simply a new front page and that the forums themselves were not effected. I am still working on finding out what went wrong so we can prevent it happening in the future.

    A quick update. It seems the underlying vulnerability has been identified and patched by our host today. Great to see such a quick turn around from them

    The same person/group is responsible for lot (and lots) of basically the same hack all over the place. Who knows where they really are located?
