Appearently someone has hacked into the site..I've been letting Chris know everything thats been going on.

We caught someone trying to do it about 2 days ago..Chris is at a class reunion so this person that did it obviously knew he was gone.

If you guys have any information, please feel free to PM me or IM me at LoboFan07.

Unfortunately, our host will not allow us to correct this problem immediately. It appears that a hacker who we had thought we had stopped in his tracks was still able to penetrate to our mass email and send out that spam message that some of you received. Our host blamed this on us and suspended our account. We are working it out but it's a slow process due to a lack of cooperation on the host's part.

We at TexasHSFootball.com never send out spam emails. We are working to restore service as soon as possible. Thanks.

I saw the Amsterdam thing shortly before it went down yesterday morning. That's just messed up!

Yes, it has something to do with Amsterdam and Saudi Arabia. Don't ask me how they relate, but those are the two locations pinged by WHOIS.

Fortunately, we were able to restore our site, but the board is still currently down as we work to restore security.

I got the same email, but never went to the site, cause it looked a little fishy to me. Did anyone go check it out?

LoboFan07 and I both did. It's a discussion forum for EA video games. I'd recommend against visiting it because who knows what type of tracking cookies it could add to your computer. I only visited after I put my security settings on high and activated the active protection on my spyware and virus protection programs.
