From MCN:

Cool, who has written this article ?

Here it is a bit clearer.

This is not on really is it!!!...They are simply trying to encourage users to go to their site instead!

This must not be legal surely...or can they write what they want? Then again they have been for ages now almost every thing in their paper is sourced from the threads on here.

!!!!!!!
@ DOC....they are saying WE are hacking into the computers of those who visit the forum/site!!!
This is SLANDEROUS!!!

I posted the first paragraph of this in the related thread in announcements as well as i saw that first.

Am i missing something? It doesn't mention this site, it could just be that they are warning about other sites - this isn't the only one you find if you are looking on the net for anything about Valentino Rossi. I don't think its terrible that they are just giving a warning, or am i being naive?

Sure they are a bit cheeky with the push of their own site, but self advertising in their own paper can be expected. I don't think thats anything too serious. Though in fairness a lot of the little blurb articles like this that I see in MCN I don't take too seriously, it's usually kind of clear when they are adding in their own opinion type thing (like use our site) in review of the 'factual' info they have been talking about. So all I'd take from the article is that you have to be careful with some sites u visit. (But hey, thats to be expected nowadays unfortunately) Wasn't there something like this posted before about Valentino Rossi links being spyware or something? I'd say they are just giving a similar warning like that. The thing about celebrities official sites being hacked may not refer to this official forum, just be taken from McAfee's statement that they find more problems with celeb sites.

The image shown in the article is the main page of The Official Fan Club web site that links to this forum. Here it is to see for yourself:
www.fanclubvalentinorossi.com

I agree that this is wrong - it does seem to me to be portraying the official website as one of the dodgy ones - I have sent an e-mail to MCN about it.

oh ok, i see where you're coming from now. (sorry, im slow )

What the ?????????? How dare they, I have also e-mail Mcn as well about this, I'm not happy about this at all

are they specifically mentioning this site???? I don think so... but then again its better to be carefull...

OHHHHHHHHHHHH! That all drives me mad!!!
How dare they are???!!! Dirty way of rying to get rid of your rivals!
Mahh... I`m furious! Someone, give me sedative immediatly!!!
