    I'll admit my mind works a little off, but this whole thing has me wondering if this isn't just some way to make me check out the man cave section. After all, reading this makes it awfully tempting to click and see what's going on in there.

    The server the forum, and other sites, were on was taken down by the host because of a reported malicious image in a thread in the man-cave subforum. We finally convinced the host to turn the server back on by sidelining the forum. I deleted a number of images and posts within the thread.

    I need everyone to be careful about what they post in terms of images and files. If you don't know or trust the site that the images are coming from then DO NOT POST THEM. It causes A LOT of trouble for everyone and can cause personal loss if the malicious content attacks someones computer.

    I don't understand why it went down, I am just glad TGT is back up and running. Great going guys.

    :cool:

    Seems a bit extreme...

    They couldn't even identify what file it was?

    Was it a link or an attachment? Who is your hosting through? I want to avoid them in the future.
