I can't get to it either. Inputing Howards address into DownForEveryone tells me Howard is up (but it's not). However if I input the address of one of the ad links, it says it is down for everyone. Something definitely is not right.
Edit: I'm posting from my phone at the moment, not sure if that makes a difference. What I saw looked like a redirect. |

| Their site got hijacked, and GoDaddy is dragging their heels in fixing it.

Hi everyone. I just want to let you all know that the HowardForums.com domain has been stolen. Someone hacked into the domain administrator's email and transferred the domain away from our registrar. After they transferred the domain away, they setup filters to delete subsequent emails so that we wouldn't be alerted.
I am in the process of sorting this out now. My apologies for any problems this may cause.
GoDaddy was saying earlier that nothing could be done til Monday cuz its a weekend.
22 mins ago however, they sent this to Howardforums via twitter:
quote:
@howardforums Please follow and DM me so I can provide you an update of the situation. Thank you, ^J
So it may be fixed soonish.

Re: Howard Forum not available I thought I had some sort of a redirect virus, but howardforums.com is not available on any of my machines, and I posted the problem on Usenet and others had the same problem.
Funny thing is that I keep getting e-mails about threads on howardforums being updated, so obviously some people can get in to it. |

1 edit | Strange, your links also redirects to theclickchek.com for me. Click Check has been described as a google redirect virus but following that link at theclickcheck.com does not deliver anything.
Fully patched XP SP3 and Firefox 15.0.1 with noscript and adblock off. It might not be capable of infecting a patched machine.
Edit: Page loads fine if I click the first link at Google or Startpage. I have encountered this before but I can't remember how they did it. |

It's up at howardforum.com (no S) now, but they're still trying to get howardforums.com back. Also, GoDaddy doesn't seem to be dragging their feet anymore, so that's good. |

| Sorry folks, Howie is all down. Not working at howardforum or howardsforum, because howardforum just redirects to howardsforum which in turn goes to the ad sites. |
