Default AndroidForums Down

Guys,
Are any of you experiencing difficulties getting into AndroidForums?

I'm finding it's been down for quite some time this morning.
.........I don't always get your questions right.... but you'll certainly know I've tried.

P.S. Many thanks for the Thanks votes. Thanks received are converted into a charitable donation.

Still no luck here either.

Strange thing just happened though when I clicked on a save URL to the site...It prompted me for a user name and password immediately.

Very weird!!

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@androidforums.arrowbee.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


That is the result of attempting to get into the site at 11:30 am Central time.

It appears they have been compromised, big time, because the generic address is yielding the "/" (root) folder, which is protected.

I'm glad to see this thread. I got locked out since about 8:30 MST last night and saw that enter username/password thing. Scared me so I x'd out of the tab but still can't get into their forum today. Sucks that they were hacked. Why do people do that?
