If this is true, then we need to look into this now.

I don't want to get paranoid, but it could be a few people trying to screw with us. If enough people go around saying that FA is planting viruses in their machines, I don't doubt for a second that much of the community will take their claims on face value.

One user mentioned a trojan, the other the worm. Could be that they don't know one from the other, or it could be they are spending a long time on the site, that a random visit to animalfarm.com didn't tally with their vriusscanner until later...

It is HIGHLY unlikely that there is a virus around the site.

Post by: Anonymous on September 08, 2005, 11:15:11 pm: The Acolytes of Zion were started by the former captains of the Guardians of Zion if sources are correct. They were quite interested in an alliance at one time...

Appears that the lack of that alliance may be a good thing...
