August 13 Forum Issue

Small downtime on forum due to hacking incident. Took a few hours to solve. Tried to redirect users to a website that would install a trojan virus. Problem solved now.

Apologies for the inconvenience and downtime, we were re-infected after cleaning it all up. Took everything down again, updated various bits, changed passwords, set new mousetraps, hopefully this will resolve the issue.

Very frustrating to spend good quality time chasing silly forum-hacking goofballs, but such is life in the modern world...

And... we were just down and additional time this morning.
both our wiki and forum was down this time and it appeared to not be a virus but something server related.

Let us know if you encounter any further problems... if you can't here... send email to support@battlegoat.com - daxon@battlegoat.com etc. - chris@battlegoat.com etc.
