In light of the recent attacks on the Dreamwave message board as well as thousands of other message boards across the Internet, Seibertron has decided to upgrade the message board code powering the Energon Pub to the version which fixes the exploit. The Pub may be down for some time as the software is upgraded, but a full back up of all content was made. We hope to be up and running soon!

In the meantime, why not check out The Toy Galleries, Vector Sigma Database, or play some Heavy Metal War?

Thanks for your patience!

You can view more information about the virus here. Help stop the spread of this attack! If you know anyone using phpBB to power a messageboard, contact them to get the patches installed as soon as possible.

NOTE FROM SEIBERTRON: There are other message boards (such as the VBulletin boards and the Invision boards) that are vulnerable as well as a variety of functions in PHP that have been exploited. The current attack is focused on phpBB based boards, but it could easily be turned against other boards similar to phpBB. It is highly recommend that those of you running PHP should upgrade your version of PHP to the latest version.
