Have you had an unwelcome “detour” in your recent navigation around our community? Lately, some people are reporting that they have received “Access denied” messages and been sent on detours to x-rated sites. Don’t worry, it’s not you … it’s us.
Some evil force has got into the inner workings of our websites. Our technical people are on it and working overtime trying to figure out who (or what) is corrupting our links, and how to foil them. Meanwhile, we ask for your patience.
This is very frustrating for us, and we apologize for the attacks spoiling your experience here. Long time members will tell you that spammers, trolls and corrupting influences are very few and far between on Ben’s Friends. We are proud of that record, and hope to get things back to normal very soon.
The Moderator Support Team: TJ, Seenie, Azurelle and Merl

Thank you so much, Isaiah!
We don’t do this job for the adulation, but when someone says something appreciative, it makes our day. Every. Single. Time.
The real heroes of the Ben’s Friends network are the moderators like you who are there every day keeping the community safe and supportive!
Yeah, the trojan (or whatever it was, I’m no techie …) was a right pain in the neck. But these things happen in our wonderful-in-so-many-ways cyber-universe!
Best wishes from all of us!
Seenie and the whole Moderator Support team.
i have been denied access, i thought it was because i was a new member lol. hope it is resolved soon 
Kat, if it was a blank page with Access denied in the top left corner, it’s The Evil Force at work. Like I said, no worries … it’s us, not you.
I’ve checked your membership and all is in order. Give it another go: we think we’ve cleaned the mess up. Again, our apologies.
