Is someone messing up the site?
TappedOut forum

I have noticed some strange things lately. Not the usual rankings or deck list strange, but weird odds and ends randomly across the site.
For starters, when I try to look up cards using the filter, there are a few that are not cards or even related to cards for that matter. I typed in goat as a subtype and what showed up was something strange like W 13 S R 2 or something, I have no idea what it was, that was linked but with nothing showing up.
Next thing I found strange was when I tried to post a thread in the commander forum, thopters showed up. However, the thread still went through, but none of the content or even my name showed up. And when I tried to do it again, it just did the same thing. In the last posted part, in said forever ago instead of like 1 minute ago or 30 seconds ago.
I think someone, probably a kid based on some of the strange content, is hacking the site by messing up the coding. Has anyone ever noticed anything this strange?
I guess I understand, but for some reason stuff just seems off to me. I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels like everything's changed in strange ways. That might just be me.

The Ads often appear over necessary links. I need to reload the page, pretty often to correct this.

I don't think so. The forever ago and thread problem can be explained by some technical problem I don't know how to explain (but that I'm sure Epoch or yeago can), and the search has always been dysfunctional. If someone were hacking the site, I doubt that they would content themselves with showing numbers instead of cards.
