Banned!!!!????

I have just got a message that I have been banned from the MOUL forums!!! I can't even remember the last time I posted anything on there, let alone spam.

This happened to anyone else????

yes, me too just now - big shock!

Looks like someone messed up and banned the entire interwebs

Woot. So it wasn't just me.

I just got to the login screen and managed to log in to the Cyan forums; will try MOULa next.

edited - nope, still banned at MOULa forum

Hmm... I'm not banned, it seems. It also seems that I'm able to write posts there.
However, doing a "View active topics" gives me a "No suitable matches were found.". Something is just behaving strange.

I would say, either some php scripts or the database itself got corrupted.

I'm sure this did not happen intentionally.
But no website operator can be 100% sure to be safe against hack attacks or malfunctions - or maintainer mistakes.

This was all resolved fairly soon after the bans were issued and, as far as I know, no innocent party stayed banned. But it was rather upsetting at the time!
