Looks like some of you have been having issues replying to posts on the forum.
I have found a workaround to avoid the problem while I look for a proper fix so hopefully everything is back to normal now.
Thank you Paul and Phil for reporting the issue.

Some of view might have noticed the website has been down for a few days and, before that, an unusual page was showing a treasury box.
That was all due to our website has been hacked!
My pride has taken a hit but I'm happy to report there are no signs of any user details or credentials having been compromised. The attackers only modified a few files to redirect users to a scam site and I hope none of you clicked on that treasury box.
To be safe rather than sorry, and avoid missing some infected file, I decided restore from backup.
This means we have lost all the updates from the 29th of May 2026 and the pictures in the pin-up club - Sorry Phil, hope you still have copies!
The vulnerability used to get in has now been patched and few more security features have been introduced but let me know in case I broke some functionality in the process.
While I'll keep on trying my best to maintain the site clean and functioning safely for all of you, I cannot deny there is always a chance somebody might find a way in.
Because of that, please do keep in mind to reset your passwords from time to time and avoid using the same credentials for your more important sites, especially social media and personal email sites.
Sorry about that,
Giovanni
