Ironic, but surely not suprising?

Got the message this morning as well, gawd it was annoying trying to navigate with 'REPORTED ATTACK SITE' popping up with every new page

CCIP · 10-19-10, 09:39 AM

Oddly enough, I've had nothing at all here - no warnings or anything. Using Chrome.

Yosarian · 10-19-10, 10:56 AM

Only the forum site is blocked, http://www.subsim.com/index.php itself not!

Interesting. I can use General Games without a problem, but this thread and the main forum are Reported Attack sites.

Onkel Neal · 10-19-10, 11:26 AM

That's reassuring. I am contracting vBulletin to check the database again.

I only had a little time to research "Reported Attack Sites", http://www.searchenginejournal.com/y...bout-it/10035/

Someone suggested that a previous user here could be behind this, as a result of being banned, he may be engineering a malicious attack on Subsim. Hopefully the DBA will find a problem in the db and we can fix this, as opposed to fighting some ^&%%*@ who is repeatedly reporting Subsim as a bad place. That would be easier.

I was afraid of this too. Hopefully it is a problem with the database.

I've changed the Ironclads banner link to a google search result for Totem games, instead of a link to Totem games, as a temporary measure. I will contact Maxim and suggest he set up an alternate host, at least for US and non-Russian visitors.

Just some follow up, I'm only getting the reported attacked site if I use the link in the Announcement, otherwise I can now browse everything without a problem.

Interesting, I'm still getting it on all pages viewed...

Marka Ragnos · 10-19-10, 11:57 AM

I get the error when i click on subsim forums on the homepaga, knowing this site is save i clicked continue anyway..

New visitors may not feel the same

Usually it's a bad link in a banner or an attack, usually it's the first.
