There is a Corvette Action Center NCRS forum, an Arizona NCRS forum and a dozen others.

I assume you're talking about the NCRS Technical Discussion Board. They were doing some computer updates the other day and there were issues getting in. Now only the title loads and none of the Discussion Board is visible. I assume they are continuing with their updates and are in the midst of making it work. I'm sure they'll get a handle on it before the day is out.

Went to the website yesterday and there was a notation that the site had been hacked and they would have to fix it.

It could be some updates that didn't go as smoothly as planned, but the message that is now displayed indicates that the site has been hacked and they are working on a fix.

When I went there yesterday and clicked on the site address, I got a "computer security alert" from my security software.

Still problems at this time.

I went there yesterday and my Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus program told me that I had picked up a virus, which was quickly removed!

That said, the "hacked" theory makes sense.

It has officially been hacked. The main site and the TDB. The main site is back up but the TDB and most of the chapter websites are still down.

Shouldn't take that long to get back on line if the web masters are doing proper maintenance, backups and disaster recovery. Hmmmm....

Can't imagine why anyone would care why a dull, boring and uninteresting site like that is down when you can come here.

Can't imagine why someone would go through the trouble to hack the NCRS website.

A bad judging call could have pissed off the wrong member. I don't see an outside hacker giving a darn.

I hope Corvette Forum is taking precautions.
