  • Google Chrome flashed up a malware warning when I tried to go to the thread discussing possible malware attack from the advertising.

    So apparently the mods know about it..... but they've left the site up anyway.

    LOL I thought you were referring to one of the posters on that site rather than being serious.

    Indeed.

    It doesn't neccesarily mean fubra have accepted ads from a malware source. Rather the ads have been targetted.

    Do understand the excitement and the opportunity to slander, however, MSE was also attacked by a disgruntled customer not that far back, which took the site down for a good day or two if I remember correctly.

    According to some of the bulls on this forum, HPC does attract a lower class of forum member/visitor, as you have just proved.
    30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.
  • Good. There is nothing BUT nastiness reeking from that vile site.

    I believe you've been infected by a nasty virus ;)
