I didn't get any warnings when trying to access the site. Maybe it's because I'm a patron and don't see banners :smug:

And this happens just after Fretrider was given access to GD again. The conclusion? Bryce is malware.

Unlikely. If being a patron prevents sorcerers.net content from loading, you won't get a warning for that, but since rpgcodex.net itself is flagged, you'd trigger that one. My guess would be that your Chrome instance hasn't updated its safebrowsing blacklist.

I'm pretty sure that whatever Firefox uses for their detection algorithim flipped a switch and decided to flag everything that's not mainstream websites. RPGCodex, RLSLOG, etc, everything that's remotely shady but mostly harmless has gone from fine to ATTACK SITE. (Although to be fair, RLSLOG is a pile of shit that will hijack your browser if you don't have it block scripts.)

Okay, I have been a lurker here for YEARS and have never seen this, nor do I even understand why I am seeing this now - But, Firefox has you as a "Reported Attack page" (which I also know is Bullshit)

What I am wondering is if anyone else is getting this warning - I visited you guys last night (hell, I am here every night even if I do not post) and there was no warning but today I had a warning. So whats up? Are trolls reporting this site or something only to thwart the efforts of Cleve and stop the incline?

Anyhow, I am serious though, I am getting a firefox warning from here- So maybe someone needs to go and figure out whats going on. I personally clicked a link which says "Stop badware" and am reporting you guys as a good site since unless Cleve is working for you behind the scenes and making super awesome Neanderthal , undetected Jew-ware which is secretly taking web cam pictures of tranny action- Then I dont know what the fuck...

Fix it. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuu

(If my wife sees this warning and sees me click the link- You will take the blame for all the spyware I get downloading porn- Which is okay I guess, but....)

My guess is there's not a lot of classy choices available in the "YO WE GOT A SITE OF TRANNY RAPISTS YOU CAN SERVE ADS TO" department.

I think it's Google who's providing the lists for this thing. That's why Chrome users get the same alert.

Yes it's Google who provides it to Mozilla, that's why I disable their phishing tools when I use Firefox, because I refuse anything that phones home to Google.

Things like these are why I always block all ads and trackers, I am not letting it become a vector for tracking and malware.

Meh, google is oversensitive with that stuff. I once helped set up a business website for someone in the family, google flagged it as a malicious site for no reason. The site was barely up for a day and it had zero ads. If it was infected the host would have told us about it (as they are paid to keep shit clean). Nope, googlebot knows better. After an email or something they fixed that.

It's probably an ad or googlebot being bitchy after a xenforo script looked at it the wrong way.

Looks like Google found something suspicious and just flagged everything as malware. Of course, the clues they give you as to WHAT exactly triggered their flags are almost non-existent. I'm looking into this.

Well, it's sorcerers.net that is reported as malware site, so it's probably shit flash/javascript ads again.
