Virus hits GoDaddy Servers

Will the fourm be like, exactly the same and just a new server?

I think Rob will try something new.

I'm kinda hoping it will change, but it feels like the forums have been this way for so long I've gotten to comfortable with it. Anyone else feel the same?

Did Rob do something to protect the site this time? Or was it reinfected for such a short period that nobody noticed?

Ahaha, so that was what it was. When I was at school and went on urealms, the screen would close out and a popup would come up saying, "WARNING YOUR COMPUTER IS UNDER ATTACK!!" Started freaking out.

TLDR: Basically a shit ton of godaddy sites were infected with a virus, including ours. Me and my buddy Ziros managed to clean out all the files so the site is now "Safe" again. The virus has been on the forums for the last week and I'm not quiet sure exactly what it "Does" so it would be wise to run a virus scanner. If you have been to the site and websites are still poping up clear your cache.

woah so is your friend i dont know...an optical illusion?

I was wondering how i got that luckily i have malware bytes and what is happening to the world... why would you give a virus to such awesome commercial creators. That also makes me remember back in the days when Geico commercials were funny.
