Looking for input on site changes

That was yesterday at around 9:30 am EST. I saw it about the same time the day before that as well.

I can't see the image in that post. I had to go to edit it and pull the url from there. I've never seen that but that is indeed disturbing.

I'm looking into this matter right now, i see the picture that Mahurron linked , i'm gonna go ahead and do a site wide scan make sure there was no breach of security during last few days and check for any thing that's suspecious. Site will be down during the time.

wondering, anyone can tell me on which thread/s did that icon come up on?

It was right on the Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community - Powered by vBulletin page when I saw it, not any specific thread.

However, more specifically, think back a few weeks to when there was that little spam for whatever that online money was. There were two or three threads about it under new posts, all starting with 'someone' asking about the 360 version of FFXI. All three initial posts in the threads were dated 2007. Two of the threads had responses by the time I saw them and those posts were dated correctly in 2009 to be new posts, but there was a thread with just the initial post that was dated 2007 even though it was on the latest 7 posts.

It looked like the first posts had been planted with an old date to look legitimate while still being a place to post the actual followup spam.

It could be nothing, but it just looked very odd to me.

Those "webmoney" posts did look suspicious to me, which was why I called attention to them when they came up. Some dude just bumped old threads spamming about where webmoney could be sold.

Webmoney isn't a common term to throw around here. It might be if you were on a Japanese site, but this isn't a japanese site. Talking about webmoney here is about as casual as some guy knocking on your door and telling you "I just happened to be reading The Watchtower." Meaning, there's nothing casual about it.

This might be worth looking into.
