Yeah, yesterday I was on the site and got a little penguin holding a sign saying it knew my ISP and crap...normal spyware, I hope...but I had to clean up my machine. Has anyone had this crap before on this site? :evil:

Your browser reports all of that information to every site you go to, manuel's sig just has a simple little script to read and display it back to you.

correction:
I had something like that in my sig until about 2 weeks before.
But it's really nothing to worry about. We mods know everybody's IP around here. :twisted:
Not that we could do anything with it. :wink:

Heh. I put more memory into my ancient computer and installed a firewall and the Internet as a whole has not been a problem since. The "penguin" turned out not to be a problem even before that...I should do a better job at getting back to my past posts!

Not a forum attack, but...  This is just one of many things that have gone wrong when I've accessed the forums (or tried to) in the last few days. And I've accessed the 'Files from four computers, my home one and three school computers, one a mac. Each time something squirrely happened. I still didn't think anything of it until Toddvania mentioned something about having problems, as well. Anyone else been having trouble?

Yes, but this appeared after I got numerous "can't query forum topics" messages.

I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before (my days seem to blend together) but I couldn't get anything to load up. The forum index wouldn't completely load and everytime I'd click on a catagory nothing would happen. I thought maybe it was my crap computer (but then again I didn't have any trouble with any other websites).

Last night I got some green monster holding a sign (like the penguin), saying it knew my ISP & "I know what you did last summer," what the hell is going on? The only thing I could access was the 'games' section. The site has been acting weird lately.

Those have been explained to you... THEY ARE NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE SITE! If you can attempt to listen THIS time. it's just a simple little piece of code that reads and displays the information your browser reports to EVERY website you've EVER gone to. if you don't like it, don't use the internets.

And we've already got a resident user that overuses italics, lets leave it at that.
