Welcome back, Fogbow

The Fogbow forum is back under a new hosting company and more site security. Foggy wrote yesterday:

Now you can do a post about how Fogbow is back, working perfectly, and super-secured by SiteLock. No more malware – and the blacklisting will be removed early next week.

We see a good deal progress in the recovery from typhoon AnoaGhost. The WordPress front page is restored: Some of the menus still don’t work, but that will come in time, as will the removal of the big red Google scare page you seen when accessing The Fogbow from some browsers.

Update:

The red scare screen is gone now, and the front-page menus have been restored. A cursory check suggests that the forum problem with logins has also been fixed.

  3. As a general principle, when recovering from a hack, you don’t restore any of the old software, but rather start again new.

  4. Sorry about your comments being flagged by the Spam filter. I can only guess that the 3rd party filter thinks that fogbow is still in the dog house.
