What Happened? - Plutexian Mpregger - 07-05-2015
For most of the afternoon, mpregcentral was down. What actually happened?

From what I've heard Hostgator had a major fail in operations for a while so much of the sites involved were down as a result, something like that.

Thought it was that, as every time I tried to come here (to mpregcentral), mozilla came up saying reported web forgery.

I'm not sure exactly what was going on (only lyric could answer that), but I was able to clear up the mozilla issue -- That's a security feature that mozilla has. I filled out a stock form saying it's not a phishing website and changed my security settings.
After that, I was getting redirected to a hostgator page saying the site was temporarily suspended. Either something was wrong with hostgator in general, or our payment was delinquent (IIRC, that's what happened last time we were shut down for a time??)

I kinda figured that it was hostgator, as I tried it on internet explorer and hostgator was what came up. Would be best if this site was transferred to a safer webhost, as that was freaky stuff and it was also without warning.

I asked Mrs Mad Ronin if she could try it on her computer and she said that it wasn't working either.
(Mrs Mad Ronin is my auntie in real life, by the way).

Hostgator got back to me and said that there was some sort exploitation going on regarding one of the installations within the website. They cleaned it out and reset some things. Should be all good now.

Reported web forgery popup said something about it likely being something to do with phishing.
