Yes, we have been facing some problems with malware which was reported by Google initially. This was partly because of some links spammers post on the form which lead to bad sites hosting malware. I normally take care of such links and ban spammer in question instantly.
The WOT rating you see however is simply misleading. The fact is there isn't enough users rating on WoT claiming the site is poor quality.

See Site status on Norton Safeweb:- http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?ur...yworld.com
McAfee Site Scan: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/forum.p...yworld.com

Thanks for your understanding.

The WOT rating isnt really a problem, the google safebrowsing rating is.
Had to click ignore to get here.

Yes, you're right. I'm working on to rectify that asap. We have requested a review with Google and hopefully it will be fine soon. To temporarily bypass that, you may do the following in Firefox..

Under options -> security tab, uncheck Block reported attack sites & Block reported web forgeries.

However, we'll not recommend keeping it unchecked for long.

Sorry about the inconveniences!
