Hi NightNinja and MPC forum members,
EC is also down, and if I recall correctly, it suffered the same SQL error. It's a possibility that someone may be using the recent uncovered php/Invision Board exploits thru SQL injection to bring the forums down, but I don't have proof.
However, it would be wise to update the boards accordingly to avoid such future problems. I forget the webpage to do so, possibly
www.invision.com or whatever.
Best of luck,
