Hey folks....Here are the details with as much info as we are able to share at this point...

The forum software was attacked but the server is (and was) secure (i.e. we DO NOT and HAVE NOT hosted any viruses, etc). We’ve closed software holes and are continuing to monitor and do whatever we can on the backend. Google still has to clear the warning and we’re just waiting on that.

AS ALWAYS….We encourage everyone to change their password and make sure their virus protection software is up to date ANYTIME they are on the internet – whether it’s visiting TideFans or any other site.

Some of you may have lost your custom avatars in this process. If so, you'll need to upload/change them again. Sorry about that! If there are other things that aren't "as they were" please let me know.

If you ever need top-notch site-hosting and a dedicated server (for your business, church, school, etc), I 100% reccommend Jon Larsen at RichWeb.com. He's the best I've ever dealt with and proved it yet again in how he's worked with us (and continues to work) on this issue throughout the weekend. The very best.

Can you imagine what would happen to this site if we lose to Auburn!?

We would all be saying our tearful farewells and wishing Tidefans R.I.P


Thankfully that won't happen. :gameface: it's on.

Just curious......but was the site attacked by individuals? Like ones wanting to shut down the site.Or was it something that just happens every now and then.

I may not be allowed to ask that, but I am computer stupid when it comes to stuff like this.:biggrin:

i smell a conspiracy here. we have our winning streak broken and just magically the site goes down for 2 days? hmmmm something tells me it was for our own good to keep the mods from banning most of us. good strategy:wink:

the mobile version that i have become used to is no longer there. it was the one with limited graphics so it was quicker to load. will that come be back soon? it just takes so long to load the full site on my mobile web phone.

thanks for all you guys do to keep this site up and running. this is by far the best forum of any sports forum i have been to and it is completely due to the administrators and mods!

I am still getting the warning when I use Firefox or Safari. I do not get the warning when I use Google Chrome.

I take that post back. When I posted my reply above I got the warning using Google Chrome. I did not get it when I signed in but I got it when I posted my reply.
