I wish to express my appologies if anyone was offended but it was apparently the subject of a hijack from a Russian hacker. I have fixed the redirection problem - but not the vulnerability that has allowed the redirection in the first place. I will take care of it as soon as possible. It is possible that the hackers have inserted more redirection commands in the website database. I will try to find out but, in the meantime, if you find you are directed somewhere outside of verificationguild.com, please let me know ASAP at janick@bergeron.com - Thank you.

I'd often heard if said that verification is hard, but I wasn't expecting it would be that hard.

If you are a PHP-Nuke site administrator, feel free to contact me about the problem and how I fixed it. Again, my appologies for the disruption.
