Forum INOP 8 days due spamware onboard
« on: 19 February 2010 at 01:18 »
The forum was shut down for 8 days by our Finnish Internet provider due to spamware resident in the forum software. I was notified about this late and some initial security measures were taken today. The spamware is being injected from servers in Russia, Latvia, Ukraine or Germany.

I will shortly upgrade the forum to a next-generation software. Don't worry if you find the forum initially "painted in primer only". I'll do my best to have it fully operative as soon as possible.

Please do also not hesitate to report spam, scams or other things in the forum that may look like a bomb. Pack your bags yourself and don't leave your Viagra's unattended...

Thanks Jan-Erik. Good to know the forum will be upgraded, it will mean we'll have improved security measures for sure.

For the time being, it is good to have it back on line  ;)
