Hi All,

As you would've noticed, OA was down today. Some scumbags hacked into our server and planted a spamming virus, which alerted out server host who in turn closed down the forum.

They've kindly re-activated it, and I'm now in the process of fixing the issue.
Over the next week, OA may be down for short periods at times, as I will be doing a big upgrade of all the software. Hopefully this will protect OA from any further attacks like this.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards
Paul

Work places will catch on, and there will be a massive ban of OA in workplaces.

Ok guys... enough spamming in here.
I'm trying to work out how this all happened, fix it so it wont happen again.

Good to see the regular spammers back and working hard.
