The Website may be down for a while to tonight. Sorry if this has caused any issues. We have to do some repairs. Not to alarm anyone, we just want to inform you that no personal information such as email addresses or passwords were accessed as they are in an encrypted file. We had an intrusion in one of the vbulletin files that has installed some malicious code. Tyler G and myself will be reinstalling the site and bringing up the backups tonight. Sorry for any inconveniences they may have caused. We strive to have a very clean and secure website.

My theory is that some jealous paying user from one of the more "westerly" forums did it... Just sayin...

The site was down most of the evening till about 4:00 am this morning. We had some malicious coding inserted by a hacker from Malaysia. That has been located and removed. And additional security has been added to prevent this any further.
We noticed most browsers or internet security software noticed this and didn't let any thing happen but we suggest clearing your cookies and running a virus scanner just to be safe.
If you see any other stuff here that isn't working properly please let us know.

Thanks and sorry for the inconveniences this may have caused.
