Read all about it.

WTF?

So who's next Mr Google? Are you really protecting us and our computers?, or is your motive more sinister w.r.t. free information forums?

Saw that also. I've seen it happen to other sites (Recording mag if memory serves). Probably compromised from outside (malware, trojan, or whatever). Sucks but I would think it will be resolved (hopefully sooner rather than later).

It's not just Google, Firefox set to "Block reported attack sites" also blocks the site.

The posted diagnostic link explains what the problem is, unfortunately it doesn't tell which thread(s) contain the nasties.

Whatever it is I hope they manage to fix it soon. Somebody's got it in for that site methinks

It's been going on for a while.
I wasn't brave enough to continue on into the site as I had a real bad virus about a year ago that took me about a week to get rid of.

At first I thought it was a mistake, false positive but after reading other sites about the problem it seems as the site was hacked and is infected now.
