Google reports this site containing malware. It appears somebody found a way of hacking into a script. This has been stopped and a request has been made to remove the message.
It might take a day or so for this to happen.

Not sure if this is helpful in any way but I noticed this morning when I came home from my night shift, i.e. probably ~06:30 (GMT+1) that Firefox on my home desktop wanted to install a missing plugin for RPGWatch. I'm almost completely sure that this was not the case when I was surfing the site from work (where I was using Firefox as well) earlier during the night so my guess is that the attack must have occurred roughly between 05:00 and 06:30 GMT+1.

Yeah wow the google alert message came up for me also. I figured it was an ad related issue. Didn't know google had the power to take you guys down!

Also got a demand to add a missing plugin.
I asked myself why the hell I'd be missing a plugin here?
Denied the missing plug in. Then, the next thing I know, I get this Malware threat warning trying to read another page of one of the treads.
Tried getting back here all day.
Threat was still there.
Now, everything is fine here.
Got scared for a moment.

It has been resolved by taking down the ads. Using open source software is not always a blessing I guess.
As this is the second time with this software I won't be using it again. For now we are ads free :)
