I don't normally go to Warseer as we have a Australian gaming forum where people just rip stuff off seer and post it up. Still can't believe Warseer it's been down a whole week?

Any news on what exactly caused this?

Probably the number of virus attacks they've been hit with over the last month, they'll be looking for a permanent solution rather than the quick fixes of just deleting the virus installer code that they've been doing so far.

I had the misfortune of getting hit by one of the warseer viruses, and it was a bastard. Didn't have to download anything or click on anything, damn thing just auto-installed itself and ran as soon as I viewed the site. One of those horrible ones where it stops you from opening the task manager/ control panel (and any programs), disables all anti-virus, deletes your system restore points, auto-loads itself at startup etc. Took a couple of hours to get rid of it... I'd have been screwed if I was a non-technical user.

I'm back to using the noscript extension for firefox now, it makes things a bit of a pain in the arse since you have to specifically give permission to each site, but it's the only foolproof way to avoid getting stuff off the web. Highly tempted to get one of those tiny little net-top PCs with linux on them with at this point... just for web-browsing and media playing though, since linux can't do bugger all else. Tongue

Ahh... I had a similar virus hit me recently!
Maybe I had visited Warseer more recently than I thought I had.

I used the virus as an excuse to upgrade my operating system with a full system wipe.

I go off on holiday and Warseer goes on its own holiday somewhere else. I'm beginning to think that Warseer might end up going the way of Portent before it.

I'd be saddened if it did. The various paintings logs I followed and News and Rumours forums were great reads. I like to see what new stuff posters would discover from various manufacturers. I'd miss a number of the regular posters, like Harry and a few others.

Every now and then I browse through Dakka Dakka, but it's just not the same.

Even if it did go down (which it will not) it'll resurface again just as before.

I did notice that the message had changed when I tried to access Warseer. I'm now getting a configuration not found error message.

Aaaaaaaand...Warseer appears to be going down again.  I swear, lately that site goes down more often than a $2 ****.

I'll defer to your voice of experience there Llew. Wink

But yep. I can't get on to Warseer either.

Damn. I knew I should have harassed Nightsword into joining here when I had the chance.

Hmm yeah after it went back up recently I did notice that a lot of people were still complaining about virus attacks from Warseer. I didn't get any myself though. It was also a lot quieter than usual, I assumed a lot of people just hadn't realised it was back yet. Maybe it was because people were getting attacked thus not visiting the site. Shame..

No message about it yet or aprox time it will be back online.
