    So, when ever I try to visit this page:
    https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=27317.100

    AVG takes over and redirects me to a "not safe" page. It tells me that this link is bad:

    Hahaha, Goatse!

    I get a few messages from Malbyte's Anti-Malware resident program blocking a few items on the forum, mainly users' avatars and sigs. Most likely, it is an issue with the users, not with the forum site itself.

    I deleted all the bad posts in the topic. Turns out someone had an avatar that was... less than appropriate.

    elite-hackers.com? Oh wow, just by looking at the domain name, it's bad but really I think it might be a false possitive. I tried it (with a different PC) with AVAST!, no prob!

    There was something in the image/link coding that redirected it to an offensive image. That coding was probably what triggered AVG.

    It's since been deleted and the user has been dealt with.
