Spam thread was deleted?

The thread was deleted : http://intpforum.com/showthread.php?p=325415

What the hell is going on.

I have a screencap of the whole page(7:40PM PST, latest post) before deletion, upon request.

For a while there I kept getting redirects whenever I tried to visit to the forum that would take me to random ads.

I blame the Mayan apocalypse.

Me and the other mod currently online don't know what happened with that thread - it's not showing for me anywhere either, it just vanished, and some of the sites that were loading on the forum are also gone.

Ragnar was online about an hour ago so it might be his doing, although it's also plausible we're dealing with some kind of intrusion. It's strange.

We've had over 3k visitors in the past 24 hours and many failed registrations of what appear to be spammer like nicks; it's possible the forum is under some kind of spam attack. Registration was temporarily closed in the case of a tsunami.

I thought it was deleted because of a screenshot I posted:

Anyway, I was saying I kept seeing this name and IP address when I was being redirected by the ads:

IP: 50.62.128.149

IP lookup says it's based in Scottsdale, Arizona

Lock and load.

Yes I noticed that too... looking into it

That's only 45 mins away. I guess fists are going to be sore in the morning.
