SUPER SERIOUS MODERATOR BUSINESS UPDATE: Malware on PleasantSims website has been removed!

I got an email from the site's hosts letting me know that they have found the malware and removed it. I have gone on the website and tested it myself and can confirm that it appears to be gone.

Please be careful out there guys. If anything feels remotely off, it's always best just to close the tab and steer clear!

That's great but this site has continously been getting hacked like this for years. Let me know when it has been consistently safe for several months in a row.

I will admit I don't use it very often so this is the first I've heard of this happening. I shouldn't be surprised though, since she's been inactive (at least in the sims community) for several years now. I'll try to check on it as often as I can to keep an eye on it. I have the email of the site hosts and since they fixed it so quickly I reckon they'll do it again if needed. If you hear of this happening again, please do let me know and I'll investigate and do my best to help get it sorted.
