Website Was Down Over the Weekend

[Still_Small_Voice]

When I tried to get to this website (https://www.thirdhour.org) over the weekend I was getting redirected to a pornography website.  Anyone else have the same experience?

Yup. @pam announced something about it on the Facebook group, I think

Indeed. I kept clicking on the variations of the "No" button when popups kept asking me if I wanted to drop security or whatever. Finally, after about twelve clicks, I was directed to a site with a shirtless young lady apparently requesting some favor of me. Not sure what, since I closed the window. (She probably wanted my shirt.) That was about the time I figured out that 3H wasn't, um, up.

Nope.  I have all that blocked on my browser/network, so I just kept getting a blank page.  Now I know why.

Thirdhour had to be intentionally shut down for a while, apparently there was a massive hack against 1.6 million wordpress sites that needed to be dealt with.

Here's a reminder that we also have a Facebook page.  It doesn't take the place of the forums, but it's a place where people can be kept informed at times the site is down.

You can join up there, and keep your anonymity here - I don't think there's a requirement to disclose your username or anything like that.

Thank goodness my Norton blocked it all.  This is what happened if you didn't see it in the facebook group.

I do not remember what pornography came up on my screen, but it was not a topless woman.  My mind knew the website was hacked when the vulgar images came up and I closed it almost as soon as it came up.

No requirement of course, but I think there was a thread started where we all said who we are. Like you said though, not mandatory.

sorry bro. I’m much thinner than he is, much prettier, and probably shorter! But his character in High Fidelity is oddly like me.

I've seen Gator's Facebook, so I have an accurate image of him.

But I prefer this one:

@LDSGator doesn't talk about it much, but he's actually a furry.  Here's his fursona - he's got a suit and everything.

Seems more like a scaly than a furry to me

I love how the negative space in your avatar looks like Patrick handing something to SpongeBob.
