The issue should be completely resolved. The virus was erased from Immy's files and they never were in my files, so it shouldn't happen again.

Looks like crisis is over. Interesting, I never got redirected or anything during my time browsing either of these forums. Maybe I just avoided it.

From Thinning The Herd:
Famed Baritone Leonard Warren suffered a stroke and collapsed on stage at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1960. The opera was La forza del destino (The Force of Destiny). The last line he sang was, "Morir? Tremenda cosa." ("To die? A wondrous thing.")

It seems the problem arose from a security hole in Wordpress (i.e. the FH Blog and Concession Chronicles) that seems to be being exploited all around the Internet at the moment (also I guess being on GoDaddy is a requirement. Unfortunately, I was informed the virus attempted to make a new attempt; upgrading Wordpress to the latest version didn't seem to fix it.

Thus, the Blog has been deleted from the server. :C To those who enjoyed the year and a half old entries, the database is still there and I saved the entries to a file before I removed it. Theoretically all the comments and stuff still exist in the database, so... nothing really lost I don't think. Still, gone for a while. The Blog button will be replaced by a Store button once that's up.

Hm, maybe that's part of the reason I saw a number of comics talking about site issues in the last month. Glad you were able to suss out the culprit.
