Hello,

We discovered a malicious code insertion that was appearing when users were accessing the site through certain search engines and using Internet Explorer. We've actually encountered this same issue once before, as it's a common automated script attack of popular forums like ours. Google temporarily blocked our pages as a result. The actual script is a click hijacking malware that steals clicks from search engine results.

We removed the code and have requested a review by Google for the block to be removed. Once that goes through, you should be able to access the forum without any issues. :thumbsup: Google says it could take up to a day for the review but we're expecting the alerts to be gone within 12 hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
