Hi all - I'm a regular visitor but don't comment often so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I have been having an awful time lately navigating the site. Everything I click on seems to link to some drug advertisement. Am I the only one having this problem? I can't view the forum home or pretty much anything else. I'm amazed I navigated over to this thread. Thanks for your patience.

Angelus - Are you trying to access this site on a tablet, an Android tablet? I find it impossible to access this site on my Android tablet, at least lately, and I have tried at least three different ISP's. All I get is the drug spam. Sometimes I even receive an alert, "this site may be hacked".

Is it possible for you to try a different isp? This site is being hacked, but I don't understand how and why it is hacked in some ways and not others. I can't access it with my Android tablet but I can with my laptop, even using the exact same isp. I don't know enough about computers to figure that out.

While I have never had a problem,quite a few people I have referred this site to have the same complaints as above.
I never bought it up thinking that they were doing something wrong.

I felt that the drug website was simply adware installed on my computer. Now that I know others have been having the same issue I know it's not my computer.

My adblockplus tells me with a tiny icon on the top of my screen it's blocking 12 ads right now on this page.
The CNN website has the most ads/cookies blocked on any site I've been to with 25.
You guys should download adblockplus, it's free and safe.

when you do a google search for this site it says "this site may be hacked".
How about providing the link for the search where that came up?
I just signed up under a different username and did a test post with no issues, so clearly there are some problems but they're not happening to everyone so whatever help anyone can provide in the way of links to the drug ads, messages about the site being hacked, etc., will assist tech support when they look at it.

Thanks, I'm using Explorer and I see the same thing. I notice on yours there's a url for Cialis, so the search engine crawlers have been picking up the ads and adding them to the results.

i was unable to access the forum from early yesterday until just now … and before that, i was unable to pull up the home page of CF. just thought i'd share that in case it needs to be brought to the attention of the tech guys.
My sites were down for a while, and when the server problem was fixed this forum could be accessed but none of the individual forums and threads would open. Everything should be working now.

I thought that Comcast/XFinity was censoring it like they do to the Incogman website.
http://incogman.net/
Caste is also censored by various servers I've come across, and it's hacked too, so when you go to it you'll see crap about drugs instead of its content.

I've had problems seeing the site, I have been blocked by adminstrators. I am assuming it's some firewall issue from the site. I have had this before but usually would end in a day or so. It's been 2 full days and counting. I had to use a proxy server to relay this message...
It's possible your IP address is blocked as there are endless spammers signing up every day and sometimes I block IP addresses in an attempt to stem the tide. But looking back at some of your posts, you have used several IP addresses.
I've unblocked some of the recently blocked ones, maybe that will help. . .

If you can find my post on the Algeri upset of Provodnikov as that was my last post where I wasn't locked out from the site. I probably won't post much with a proxy server as it can screw up things If I forget it is on when use sites that Americans are banned on. Anyway your help is appreciated WIR.
That IP address isn't blocked. Not sure what message you're getting, you said "blocked by administrators," I'm not sure what that means. I've unblocked all of the IP addresses over the past two weeks that had been blocked. I usually only block ones that originate from third world countries and certain Asian ones like China.

Suddenly this morning the site wasn't blocked. This is very weird, but this has happened before. I don't know whether that is a problem on my end or your end. Anyway thanks for trying to help..

Same thing happened to me a few days ago, and now it's OK again. Can you people get Incogman's website? It's blocked here unless I go through an anonamyzer.
