Anyone else have this?

I did this afternoon.

Me

Started this morning, got like 4 warnings since then.

Ditto. Every single time I hit the site, I get the warning.

Here too. Are any mods having this problem?

Same. Would be nice to have some admin input.

Still happening here.

Happened to me all yesterday, and this morning it looks good to my browser.

I know Lin and Plarz worked on the issue late last night, but I don't actually know what the specific issue WAS.

When I do, I or another staffer will let you all know!

Which browser was tossing the warnings?

Firefox was tossing them out.

Alright, he's my 2 cents after poking around stopbadware.org:

Its not so much that bartertown is registered as bad, as it has not passed their test battery.

Both of the bartertown sites are in the "neutral" category at stopbadware.org. I've attached a picture.

"Sites with an uncolored icon O are not currently being reported to StopBadware as bad. An uncolored icon should not, however, be interpreted as meaning that a site is clean – it simply means that none of our partners are currently reporting the site as bad."

Depending on the criteria, bartertown will probably pass. My guess is that the original negative rating from stopbadware.org was from the large quantity of update emails that bartertown sends out.

For whatever reason, Google flagged us as having malware.

As soon as this was brought to my attention, I contacted our host and had them run a scan. They found absolutely nothing.

I contacted Google, gave them this information, and asked them for a review of the site. They've since dropped the issue, and we are no longer flagged as having malware.

I do not know why this happened, but it would appear Google's trying to take over the world, and we got in the way. We've since stepped aside, and I, for one, welcome our new multi-colored overlords.

Crisis: Averted.

Its GW they are after us! fleeeeeeeeee!

Seriously though,thanks for letting us know theres nothing buggy going on..

Simpsons reference! Awesome.

I use Google Chrome, and did not have any problems over the weekend. Odd - usually I am the bad website canary.

I use Google Chrome and yesterday it threw up a badware warning page everytime I tried to come here. It stopped this morning.

Being the cautious fellow that I am, I ignored the warnings.
