Has this site been hacked?

Has this site been hacked? So many topics not available recently, with no views and no replies.

Examples?

If you're talking about the continuous effort to remove spam, that's not hacking.

I'm wondering if you're referring to this view of the forum:
https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8

Compared to this view:
https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/index.php

I'm looking around and can only find a few topics with no posts...

Perhaps have a look at the two links above with different browsers and add some more info.

I was referring to page 76 of the General Forum, with topics like "Exploding rear screen" etc, but these are dated 1969 so maybe they are irrelevant.

Very interesting.

I'm looking at them now.

A couple of thoughts:
1. They could be evidence of a Y2020 bug somewhere (a 100 year window somewhere has reset to 1970)
2. It could be spammers trying a new way of polluting the forum with their bilge.

I'll see if I can find anything else about those posts and request assistance from the admins.

We'll check with the Admin what is going on...

I've done a bit of investigating and sent a PM to admin.

It does look like failed spamming.

Phevy, I'll create a topic in the mod area so you can see what I've found.
