Ditto folks - THANKS!

Spam sanitation dept is on it.

If it's not damn spam bots, it's spam something else.

Internet, wild place.

Gallery has been hacked into.
Each image was replaced with the link to their spam site.
Google and other services behind browsers catch this,
lots of us clicking on the red X pics trying to display them.
The link itself is down, the fact it's shady content is known,
attempt to reach it in good numbers from BWE has been detected.
So they dispplay a warning.

It seems these forums gets attacked every couple of years.
Back in early 90ies, we lost the whole BWE database, all posts. Years worth of early chatter.
No one was really taking care of it, there was no backup.

Images are safe, no worries, no pics have been lost.

We'd like to use this opportunity to inform Greek forum members
that their computer crashing has absolutely nothing to do with their BWE gallery pics disappearing.
While both unfortunate events, BWE is safe but dunno about pics on your home computer. Hope you had backup.

Spam links will be gone soon
we are working on it.

Gallery and attachment upload ability will be disabled until we upgrade things, plug the holes they are exploiting.

Bare with us, we'll keep you posted.
