This doesnt have to do with malware in the beginning.

what it is is a security have of the Vbulletin script that exploits a security issue. the site you are forwarded to tries to download malware on your computer (depending on your security structure of your network and computer this can or cannot actually happen).

its something that the forum administration/programming body should be aware as the problem is originating from their vbulletin software on their server. in the end this will most likely GREATLY effect new traffic as they will never get to the officiating.com site as traffic is being diverted. So in short its a pretty big deal.

Which would make this a pretty exclusive site, until we all die off one by one, or in a plane crash on the way to the annual Official Forum convention in Hawaii. At that point, we'll all just be a bunch of bits, and bytes, floating around in cyberspace.

When this glitch finally gets fixed, is there anyway we can keep coaches, players, and fanboys from posting?

Maybe we could have a short test people would have to take and pass with a 80% or higher in order for them to post. Considering the audience you mentioned we could have tough questions like:

How many players are in the starting five?
What do players wear on their feet while playing?
What is the round, orange thing called the reff tosses to start a game?
What is the name of the white, net that goes on the rim?
How many points is a three point shot worth?

Any other questions to add to the test?

[Mark Padgett]

How many players are in the starting five? Four - based on statistics, one guy really isn't a player.

What do players wear on their feet while playing? Anti-fungal creme.

What is the round, orange thing called the reff tosses to start a game? An overpriced sports accessory.

What is the name of the white, net that goes on the rim? Steve.

How many points is a three point shot worth? Depends on whether or not having that team get three points at that point in the game would send it into OT.

How did I do?

100% Good job Mark, you can now officially post on this forum. Way to really dig into that rule book!

After posting earlier this morning, I decided to go through some old photographs. Here's one taken at the very first Official Forum convention in Hawaii, showing Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. with some hula dancers. Man, those guys had some crazy conventions back in the olden days.
