68 forums hacked?

[Ed308]

Yes. Haven't been able to get in since last night. Hopefully just and upgrade. There was a spam attach during the week.

Thanks Ed!

Yeah, 502 Bad Gateway. A server to server error on their end. Happened some time during the night.

 

[Ratdog68]

The last time this error code showed, it took 3-4 days before they were online again. Don't know if that was when they switched from Wilson's ownership, or some other reason.

 

[Ratdog68]

It's back running again.

 

[FrankT]

Yep I see that with no explanation and have all the Mods been taken out and replaced?

Who did Wilson sell the forum to. Did not know that not like it makes any difference. The 2 are still my go too places.

General Discussion section, "Where is our leadership?" thread, on page #2 is a link to the new forum ownership. There's a number of forums owned by them. The WHOIS assigned name is Dan Kiehl.

I remember they went down for upgrades so they said. So that's when Wilson sold them. Must not have been a ROI enough for the time and investment. I wonder what the new guy is looking for in ROI vs Wilson. Wilson was looking to sell more guns. Interesting. Thanks guys!
