Has anyone tried logging into the MOC site today, there is a page up saying they have been hacked, hope it never happens to this forum!

it is possible, but I have regular backups of both the forum and the website so that if it ever did happen, I could just wipe everything and restore from the most recent backup.

also- last time I looked, the "forum" section re-directed you to their Yahoo Group, so it would appear the "website" was hacked and not their forum.

It still looks like the MOC site is down. I wonder if the forum part still works and if so how to get onto it, any ideas?

There used to be a forum on the site, sort of like this one, but no one really used it so they went to a Yahoo Group here:

Thanks Jim for the link, I prefer the layout of our Rum forum but have to say the guys on the messerschmitt forum do talk about microcars a lot more, helping each other with mechanical problems etc etc. Thats proberbly because its a one make show. Thanks again.
