Please post any comments regarding the recent outage and malware on the site under this topic. For the record, here were my updates:
8/26/2010
Unfortunately someone with bad intent either modified my site or the underlying hosting company's files. In response, I've temporarily taken the site down until I get a chance to look into it. I'll try to have the site back up by this weekend. You may want to run a virus scanner on your computer. Thanks to Iain for pointing this out to me. Regards, David.
8/26/2010 Update 2
Looks like someone modified the underlying server files that I control. I'll need to repair it.
8/26/2010 Update 3
Started the process of removing bad scripts from files, after I get it disinfected I'll need to re-install the forum software and then restore the database. This may take a few days.
8/31/2010 Update 4
While I think I've removed all malware from the site, I haven't had a chance to thoroughly vet it to be confident of this. I'm keeping the site down until I get a chance to do that; hopefully, I'll have it back up in a couple of days.
