Was there any warning of this, or when it's likely to return?

There have been a few attacks to the site in the past few weeks.

Yesterday there was a thread just started which mentioned that
some topics contained a trojan. I suspect this may be the reason
for the "maintenance", the site may have been hit hard again.

Would I turn to murder if I could get my hands on a spammer?
Probably so!! >:-}

I await the cyberpunk concept of "black ice" to be implemented when
dealing with SPAMmers.
