    Hey, Tim. Good to "see" you over here!

    I like to give a friendly welcome to all of the new members over there. I suppose I could do that just as well here, too, right? :D

    I just scrubbed the above mentioned thread looking for links to the source and found none.

    I have tired to find all links and disable them until that other site is fixed. Please be assured that there is nothing malicious on this site that will do any harm to your PC.

    Hate to say it...it may be time to disable external links (non j-peg), and let folks cut and paste links.....would be a pain...but prevent the above issue of "bad links".
    I did not get that page....so hopefully it is isolated.

    I'd rather not block all external links. If this issue is not cleared in another day or so and it is causing more than a few reports that affect this site I'll add a script to change the links a certain site until the site no longer causes reports of malware to be generated are fixed. So far it has not been an issue.

    I'm still a n00b to all things mini, but I've spent more time on NAM because that's where I found most of the answers to my original questions using google search. I ran across a few on mini2 and some other forum.

    Since I met Dr. O, I've been coming here looking for things and trying to get ideas; the one thing I've noticed is while this forum seems to have more sound (intelligent, viable) advice than NAM, there seems to be more people and more traffic over there.

    Either way, with this crap still going on over there, MA is my new go-to site. I hope it becomes the new 'go to' for others. :)

    NAM appears to back up now. Good to see they (appear to have) figured it out (finally).

    Wonder if the " screw off your not welcome here" page is viral.
