Gavin:

There was a time in the dim past when the forum was hacked. This was on the old UBB web site (which was repaired and can still be searched in the Archives). The host server was compromised, as I recall, and Vikingsword's files were overwritten with jibberish. It was a nightmare for Lee but fortunately the data were backed up and Lee has restored much of the old site. I suspect that the Google comment refers back to that episode, which occurred IIRC about 15 years ago. It seems that Google never forgets.
