Hackforums 'Firewall' - NovaHowl - Jan 18, 2017
Wondering if anyone else had come across this.
When I tried to post a question with code tags and some code, it took me to a page which said:
HackForums.net security firewall is blocking your access. You may be attempting to post or send a PM that contains data which triggers a firewall rule. While we won't alter these rules or stop these blocks we do encourage y
ou to use Pastebin.com for application code and then you can embed the Pastebin into your post with the [paste] MyCode.
Just used pastebin and it worked but yeah, have any of you come across this?

Yes, you simply do as the warning say and use pastebin and then continue with your browsing activities.

yeah happened to me once before, probably it's a safety measurement so HF won't 'host' malicious code and the FBI don't get to screw it... or so I think.
