Forums Hijacked

ANy folks that frequent fordsix or other forums get rerouted to to another forum or site this evening?? I've also noticed some wierd DNS stuff lately so not sure if there's something viscious surfing around.

I've gone through all my machines for spyware/and all sorts of little creatures with about 4 different sw packages that i use. anyone else have same issue w/Ford six

Something else i've considered it is being a HUGE april fools joke,,think there's an April Fools worm out there??

edit: had someone check fordexp.com and it went to an ebay site so it's not just me. fordsix forums seem to be doing same thing might be something that hit phpbb boards

Go ahead back!

I am reading this:

April Fools


I know that most of you already figured it out by now, but the "We are a Spam Site Now" was nothing but an April Fools joke.

Down side is that I think Marph is on his way over here to kill me...

Considering the recent change in managemenbt I thought that this would be a good take off on Erics "Ford Shut Us Down" joke from a few years ago. It was either this or changing the colors to pink with yellow polka dots...

Thanks to Eric for coming off vacation for the day to give me a hand with this.

For those that missed it, you can see the "New Ford EXP Site" here

Both the APril Fools joke for Fordexp and Ford six were great. Granted roomate goes to OverClocked remix, they did a whole big E.A. Games bought us thing (everyone over there hates EA) and then got a cease and desist which looked pretty good but it's gone now Lots of characters out there.

So Lawn Cafe you frequent fordexp or just checking it out, i found out early in the morning after realizing some stuff about the owner of the domain?? i'm 88expfree over there
