407owners forum

trem1 · 11-04-2011, 03:38 PM

As some of you may know 407owners has been suffering for the past few weeks with a virus threat, i was getting a warning from AVG about malware everytime i visited but was assured by the Mod's IE Deadmansfinger who himself was assured by site owner Geoffp that all was well with the site and it would be sorted.
Despite repated requests from Deadmansfinger to the owner nothing was done and a couple of days ago Deadmansfinger himself got a suspected virus from 407owners and very kindly sent me a message via facebook about it.
I myself have not tried to revisit the site until i am assured that its safe to do so, i'm in contact with deadmansfinger on facebook and it appears not much is being done about it, oh i also have Geoffp as a friend but no replies from him to me either.

So if people cant logon either the site is down for repair or and i really hope not its gone forever

Its a dead site anyway so ill be surprised if anyone knows its missing.

To be fair until about 12 months ago it was a thriving site with lots of daily posts,BUT things changed and it got very slow after that

It was at the point it was £10 to access parts of it that it died

yep i couldnt argue with you on that Martin

It did seem rather off that you had to pay £10 to get access to information you could obtain through other channels, which incidentally cost nothing.

And i know its only £10 but since i joined ive found that very few people actually reply to anything and that information is a lot more freely avaialable on here so i wont be subscribing again.

**bettyswollocks** · 11-05-2011, 02:13 PM

Considering most info on forums is supplied by the people who then end up paying for access to the same info

I couldn't justify paying £10 when this forum is much friendlier and more helpful

I found the site to be stuffy, not a patch on this one and I regret joining.
