User #86041 1944 posts Gav L JGK Computer Solutions Service Provider	Before that message WHT-AU was throwing database errors. The site hasn't been hacked from what I know, just either the database became corrupted or they're doing the upgrade which is taking longer then expected for some reason.	anchor posted 2008-May-12, 2pm AEST

User #221939 5 posts Andrew White. Hostaroo Services Service Provider	I was getting database errors most of last night, and now the "Who put that there??" message since. I can see the problem though. It's called vBull... ;). EDIT: Seems they've changed IPs too... C:\>nslookup webhostingtalk.com.au ns2.hostingshop.net.au Name: webhostingtalk.com.au Address: 202.60.67.66 202.60.67.66 takes you to the WHT Australia forums :).	anchor posted 2008-May-12, 3pm AEST edited 2008-May-12, 3pm AEST
