For some reason our database server took a dirt nap. After inspecting, I found we had a lot of fake registrations from our Russian spammer friends, but I don't think that was the cause.
As it looks like they were trying to use us to distribute malware through our attachments system, I have temporarily disabled our forum from displaying images to unregistered guests. If you're a guest - please logon to see the images. I will relax this in a few days time. I have also de-registered all those fake users and banned the IP addresses behind them.
Please check out your PMs (I can't read them so I don't know if they're safe), and make sure you have not received any unwanted PM spam. If you have, please let me know.
thanks,
Andrew
