NOTICE: Regarding the URL redirects

This isn’t a post I want to be writing, but I think it’s important and I owe it to you guys!

For the last few weeks, I’ve been getting reports that when clicking links to the site, visitors are redirected to NSFW sites.  These are usually done by hackers who modify files in the site. I’ve combed through the files, I’ve spent many hours searching the web for solutions. I’ve not been able to find any modified coding that suggests as hack.  Site scanners are also saying the site is CLEAN.

But I still keep getting reports, so obviously it’s not.  The redirects even happened to me a few times while loading the site on my phone.

I just went through and reinstalled WordPress–replacing all the old files with new ones (so if I happened to miss something, it’d be gone). Still nothing.

I’m contacting some people who may be able to help me. I’m not giving up. I just wanted to say thanks for your patience and for your help–especially those of you who have tweeted me about this problem!

In the meantime, we’ll continue to post news and content. I’ll keep you updated.

Thanks,
Saul
