When I type in Grogheads in the actual google search engine it comes up as an online pharmacy and redirects you to their website?

Are we branching out into Viagra to pay the bills?

That's a STIFF accusation Con. If you don't have any HARD evidence, I wouldn't ENLARGE people's imagination about we who Grog. And please don't include the word 'hack' in any penis-related topic. Thank you.  :P

yep, it's an issue on Bing also.  The search comes up right, but clicking the link takes you to Grogheads, but's it's a Pharmacy page.

I noticed that the forums take a bit longer to load than they used to. Could that be an indication of trouble, too? Or just too many big threads accumulating?

It sounds more like an issue on Con's end...we're clean here AFAIK.

It happens on google but not if I type the URL directly into the browser bar. Here's a screenie of the google misdirect (Note it's only grogheads.com, not the forums and the rest):

Yeah, I get the redirect to generic Cialis too.  Maybe Brant's branching out because the t-shirts aren't paying the bills?  I was hoping for a testimonial from Gus in a lab coat.

Con

Yep. That's what I was getting. Found out because I typically use google search instead of favorites when I am on my iPad and kept getting a spam mess page. Then replicated it on my desktop.

Ps I am limp with relief that it wasn't my browser

It's some kind of search engine spoof, though the false page does show as 'grogheads.com' in the url bar after loading from the google search link. Maybe Mirth or someone with similar code-fu can explain how that works.

google preview is still packed up, but the link should go to the right place now

looks like there was some SEO spam that hit us and we're investigating.

You guys will still honour my Cialis order though, right?

probably.  Star and Mirth have enough to keep Steelie happy, they can probably spare some for you
