site working?
Is site working as it should, or is it generating redirects to spamsites? I think sometging is going on. Please flag in here if so.
Re: site working?
Site is indeed effected by what is probably javascript injection, using base64, and trying to redirect to other sites. It is probably not dangerous to you as visitor, but you should have your system checked by malware software and also always use antivirus.
We have had issues like this earlier, but not on this host. Issues are likely a result of weak security in a wordpress plugin or outdated phpbb or wikimedia on site. They're hard to clean out with a 100% certainty without doing fresh installs of everything, and even then I'm not sure they wouldn't re-appear when we restore data from the old db:s.
We'll see how we resolve this over time, as I have no desire to spend hundreds of new hours on fiddling with web and technical infrastructure issues like these.

Re: site working?
hi folks,
The forum has been moved as well to arcmage.org/forum, all in prep of a clean start of wtactics.org
You should be redirected automatically for both wiki and forum.

Re: site working?
Hi folks,
The worm/virus also infected the main site (the wiki/forum and site are share-hosted), we need a clean install of the wtactics.org host.
The best I could do for now is to add a top level redirect to arcmage.

Kind regards,
and happy new year!

Re: site working?
Hi,
Can we add a redirect to the new forum URL from the old one? Right now it only shows the empty folder contents, it would be useful for anyone with and old bookmark or any old references.

Rejoice! For very bad things are about to happen.

Hi Knitter,
The redirects are back up, they are a temp measure as we will move the wiki and forum back again to the wtactics.org domain
