Okay...cheeky topic titles aside, I wanted to give everyone a thorough update on the site. After failing to figure out an anti-virus server software, and not getting any help on the GoDaddy forums, I decided to individually copy each board folder from the server to my home computer to see if my anti-virus software would pick anything up. It did... The virus had spread through MUCH of the server. Essentially, anything having to do with MVZ 2.0, any leftover files, etc were infected and needed to be removed. Also, the main page had to die. The good news is, none of the videos or audio files were deleted. I'm 90% positive everything has been taken care of...however, if you are running the Google Chrome browser, you'll still get warnings. This is because once Google flags a site a malicious, it stays that was until an appeal has been completed. I will take care of this ASAP. The site was checked with Firefox and IE, both running the site completely fine and free of warnings. I don't know how this whole virus thing was triggered, but it seems to have been resolved. I'll be speaking with Ryan soon and will begin building a new main page (I'm sure I'll need the help of some gracious volunteers). It will be a long, slow process, but I think we're finally in the clear. Thank you all for your patience! -B.J.

Holy crap, this is great news. Thanks beej!
A side note - the new board skin took me off guard, and then when I saw "board virus" I just about had a heart attack.

Google approved my appeal, so it appears we are 100% in the clear. No one should be getting any malware warnings.

A new main page is up and running...if you visit themvzone.com, you'll notice a very bland wordpress page with a welcome message. In the coming days/weeks, I'll start updating things and reposting videos.
In the meantime, if you want to suggest a new theme for the main page, feel free to post them here. Just google "wordpress themes"...there are a ton of free ones!

I really like the main page. Anybody think they could make an MV Zone logo to replace the Epsilon one? Same style like we did with mv/bb would be cool.

If updating the site is similar to that of the old main page, I can start updating the main page with MVs whenever you guys iwsh really. It'll take some time for sure, since whoever posts an MV will have to download an MV, take a screenshot, and type up the info, but I would not mind personally.

It's not meant to be a permanent layout, just testing some things. There's a lot of things to figure out with this one, so I'll try my best to make it work out.

Once I get the site in order, I'll PM you an account to help me with the videos. I appreciate it!

Sorry for the double post.
If any of the guys who used to work on the main page still have the HTML code for posting the videos, and/or could write a new code, please PM me.
As far as the main page goes, it's coming along. I've added a brief overview of the site, as well as a welcome video (made by SSP). The light blue area will scroll a sampling of our videos (once I get the HTML code I need). Other than that, things are moving slowly but surely.
