    Has anyone been on that site recently? I've not been on in a while but what the hell happened? It's completely ruined. Looks like they sold the site to someone else? Such as shame too because there were a lot of good folk on there and it looks like they've all left. I feel like I'm 4 years behind everyone else so forgive me if this has been discussed. I did a search on the forums but didn't find anything.

    Mini2 was sold out to a large corporation, this did not go down well with many of the diehards and they left to form Total Mini.
    It was chaos for a while with many tit for tat posts, bans etc while the members tried without success to maintain the Mini2 way.

    I've personally not logged in for ages, been too busy and not as a result of the change

    I hardly ever went on it anyway as it was huuuuuuuuuuuuge and I felt I could never keep up with all the stuff that was getting posted

    KJ, I'd do a virus scan on your PC if I were you, they recently had a problem with the site being infected with a trojan.

    It's a bit of a nasty trojan - my netbook got infected by it last week and i spent 3 days on and off trying to clear it up. Still not sure if it's all gone! it went straight through my anti virus which is regularly updated - it sneaked through as a java update then went everywhere. Not been back to mini2 since.

    Me too. And makes mental note to tell Lenore to stay away.

    Must have been embedded in one of their many, many, many ads that run on the site these days. What a complete mess that site is these days.

    It's a shame too. I've not been on it for a while, hopefully my mac isn't infected. Noticed nothing untoward.
