Well, I tested your theory that it's only Americans by virtue of being in the UK. So it's not just Americans. Gonna call up my cousin in Germany, see if it works for her. RIU seems like a good community, it's just a shame that whoever looks after things is utterly clueless - how often does this site time-out or return bad gateway requests? And what you trying to say? In the 5 minutes between my post and your reply you: 1) Read the reply 2) Went to your neighbours, asked to use their computer, tried to get onto RIU, after the normal crazy long wait it finally loaded 3) Sprinted back to your home and PC so that you could tell me the result of your test? 4) Presumably think that I am an utter mug?

Well I guess my comp is shit then and must be plagued with all sorts of malware. Can another Canadian deny or confirm this has happen to you as well as I think this is only affecting Americans.
Btw I tested your theory Grobbleskin with my neighbors comp and same thing nothing. @joe macclennan I will run a scan but that sounds unlikely to me.
*update*my computer is clean.

glad your comp is clean bro. But it doesn't make sense to me that a search engine like google would single out american or not IDK?

I live in an apartment dude and I just had them check again still nothing. but no matter my comp is clean and I get no warnings about this site nor does my neighbor so I don't know what to tell ya. @joe yes it odd indeed.

Days like this I miss having a decent growing website with a programmer of ~S~ quality in charge. He would never have let a site get this bad.
 
Wait, what?

After reading a report, seems this is because RIU has "been reported" as having malware and Google found it 4 times in 99 checks they did. That's pretty average to me, malware is everywhere. I think the "reported" thing is what's doing this, but I'm not sure

Stopped getting the warning here, too. I still stand by the idea of RIU getting some admins who understand how to properly code a website.

Every time I do an update and system scan rollitup always comes up as a dangerous site. Excuse me , I don't know all the correct terminology but you get my point.
