Hi, possible false positive here. If I try to visit this site, Malwarebytes instantly blocks it and won't let me proceed unless I were to add it to exclusions.

Sometimes the category is "RiskWare", sometimes it's "Malware". I can still access this site on my phone, and people are still posting on those forums and all so I don't think they've been compromised or anything. I trust the place, and I could add it to the exclusions, but in the freak occurrence where they could get compromised in the future, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks!

Hi,

The block will be removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
