Your retarded administrators don't understand that repairing damage is meaningless unless you first fix the problem. This forum is now 4chan's bh, and we shall do with it as we please. Since your administrators are completely incompetent we have decided to ban them, as well as change their passwords; we're sure you won't mind. We went easy on you this first time, prepare for the worst.

Strangely, when I try to access www.dcmag.co.uk I get this:

dcmag.co.uk said:

Anyone else get this? I've not been to the forums or site for ages, can't even remember why I registered...
