Any idea as to why these two reptile forums are BOTH offline at the moment ??
The RFUK website as been down since Sunday night !
Are we next to get bugged or whatever it is ?
Is there something sinister happening to reptile sites ? |

Something about there forum servers have been hacked. This is last update
Tuesday Afternoon Admin Update:
Sorry folks we are still not active. I have spoken to the big chief and the technical team and am reliably informed that RFUK will be back up and running within twenty four hours. Quite possibly a lot sooner.
An awful lot of money has been spent to bring down RFUK, which is all I can say at this time about the situation. As a result we at RFUK have spent an awful lot of money protecting the system which once up and running I am reliably informed will be totally safe and secure. No personal information has been taken so everyone's details are safe.
Other Reptile sites have been or are also under attack. Hopefully we can all work together and get things back on line for our hobby and bring prosecutions against those who find the need to sabotage what we all love. |

| Oh wow, I noticed RFUK was down when I checked there last night and this morning, but had asumed it was maintenance or something. Didn't occur to me it could be a deliberate attack. What scumbags :( |

Nah is all the techy nerds getting back at them for being flamed 
Has happened before but cant see the APA managing this or all rep forums would have been battered including us, even though we are tiny in comparison, |

Strangely enough I was discussing this very issue with Lewy last night as none of us can, there is an issue with the coding there at the moment and hes trying to get hold of the lad that scripted the codes for the reptilian, this is nothing to do with whats hapening to RFUK or Captive bred |

Well, it's 3am and as far as I can tell Captivebred is up and running, and flaming someone for asking about 'the dark side   ' being down....and 'the dark side ' is still offline. On my iPad though, so could just be that playing up....I have a love/hate relationship with it  .

| Looks like RFUK has been hacked again . Just tried to log on only to be told that there's a problem because I'd entered the username / password incorrectly FIVE times - which I haven't of course .... |
