Hi,

I was looking through an equipment guide I wrote (that had many links - most to somepage) and noticed that it's been change to cannotlinkto

Simple question - what was the reason for the change (aka is this to try to promote staying inside alla-family pages or is there some problem with their site)

Thanks

somepage has been hacked several times recently to inject keyloggers/whatever. Normally we do not filter out other site's addresses. I've added somepage to the filter list a few times in recent months and then removed it when they cleaned their site up. For the time being it's staying in our filters to protect our users until we're certain they have beefed up their security.

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but we're only trying to protect our users as best we can.

Perfectly understandable - I appreciate the reply.

I'll get to work changing the links in my guide
