    Hi guys,

    Some of you may have noticed that the frontpage of the website was replaced by a hacking group's page. The hacker found an exploit on our server which allowed him to replace certain files with his own.

    We've successfully tracked down the exploit and have removed it. We are confident that all user accounts on the forums remain secure and that he only managed to replace the index.php file.

    Thanks for you co-operation!
