This is not exactly a flattering thread for this place....has anybody informed them of the infections in their site?

My office notebook will not let me in as well. No problem with Mike's link though. It's a really bad economy if someone has the time and will to mess with that site.

 

[mike_s]

well their site says they are planning on a new site in November. (Not sure if that's been up there since LAST November though....)

I'm betting they won't do anything and will just upgrade the whole site next month.

There site is very old and is basically a copy of the exact same text that was on the previous owners site. It's due for a "redo"
