I just tried to go to the Second Citizen forums from my bookmark. Instead of loading their forums I got a page in arabic with a photo of a bloody body and realplayer launched and attempted to download an update. I stopped it. I don't recommend anyone go to that page for the time being. I'm not sure who runs Second Citizen but anyone who does should contact them immediately and let them know. In the meantime, go there at your own risk.

Hi (2ndCitizen)
Very upsetting to have found this happened. I'm currently locked out of the admin panel, my FTP, etc. I can't even get rid of that picture. Contacting the web host now trying to get something done about this. In the meantime, I'm very sorry. I've recorded an IP address, though I'm sure that's about useless (fake). Bare with me. _____________________

aww, sorry that happened Alex. I usually go to SC before I go to SL Forums, so that was a shocker. Hope it's fixed soon.

This is making me sick.
I can't get rid of that fucking picture. I can get into FTP right now, and i'm replacing index.php with the original VB one, but it isn't doing anything. Still waiting on the damn webhosts to rollback or just contact me. _____________________

Okay.
I've reverted to an original vBulletin template. It's ugly, but better than what was on display. It's gonna take me a while to get the normal skin up and running. They have trashed weeks of work on that index.php page. If I just hit revert, it goes back to default, and there were lots of mods on that file. So bare with the default skin while I get to work on that. Really sorry about this. _____________________

Does one get to find out who did this sort of thing or why? Or is it to expensive to pursue?

I agree with Chip. You shouldn't apologize because you did absolutely nothing wrong. I hope you are able to catch the person who did this. We can all form a lynch mob *gets a rope*
