Looks like your sister forum has been hacked

I think i am right in saying that this site and pc gamer are run by the same people as i see the same moderators on both.
Pc gamer gets hit a lot by spammers and in recent days when i put my pc on at around 8 am uk time their is a lot of spam.
In recent days their has been up to 3 pages of spam.
Today i logged into pc gamer and their is no content at all , the only thing on screen is random gear cogs , circles with crosses in them and big question marks

    It's common for related sites (like forums or gaming sites) to share staff or moderators, which might explain overlapping personnel.

    However, if you are seeing similar moderator activity and spam patterns on both sites, it strengthens the suspicion of a shared infrastructure or at least coordinated attacks.
