Hi Guys
If any of you use Bogglesworld.com please be aware that that domain name has been illegally taken over by a porn company. The owner is currently working to get it back.

Oh, that's bad.  I liked that site and used it frequently. How can that happen if the domain owner is in good standing? It should be a no-brainer to shut down the porn people. I checked the domain registration and it looks as though it was hacked on May 17th. |

A number of ESL forums using the same software as Dave's have been hacked over the last 3 months. Dave's uses an updated version. Ours was hacked, as was GEC's, and now Bogglesworld.
It is no easy feat running a forum...keeping this beast running must be a constant headache for the bearded one. |

Here is an update guys!!
You can find the temp site at http://english-adventure.com. That was Chris's old summer camp site which he is using for the time being to serve out worksheets and materials.
The fight seems to be going his way, but will take time before the domain will be transferred back. At least it's no longer serving porn.
