I just got a PM with a subject line that said:

--></script><script src='*URL REMOVED BY MODERATOR*'></script><!--

And the text of the PM was:

Hello! This is test security message from *URL REMOVED BY MODERATOR*. If something wrong, gimme a respond

Seems a little fishy to me. I didn't click the link but I wanted someone to be aware.

I suspect the Mafia are interested in rather more profitable nefarious activities than hacking POTN... :lol:

If the Russsians do find out, I trust you will let them sign-up again to tell us the details!

Putin claims there is no mafia so it must be some other unscrupulous outfit.

They have no need to do that. Bernie has already agreed that they're going to get the British GP date from 2010 onwards. You didn't seriously think it was ever going to Donington, did you? :lol:

That wouldn't surprise me! :lol:

Indcidentally it should be interesting to see if they manage to finish Donington in time. I like the look of the proposed layout. Much better than the multiple-hernia look that evolved at Mallory Park.

They might as well write "Here be dragons" on the Donington plans. That has as much chance of becoming reality.

I just had a quick look on Google for news and I see what you mean. It doesn't look as much of a foregone conclusion as I thought it was.
