I can assure you its real.
Im a member of patrol4x4 (user: slim) - After the last 4 or so days of seeing it virus infected I had had enough - So I started this joint. I run a hosting business so I have the server resources to host such a forum and the budget stretches to allow the purchase of the latest copy of Invision Board (which this forum runs). I have a graphic designer working on a new logo.
Obviously if the patrol4x4 forum gets its act together and removes the problems then no one will want to come here - Its empty! But from what I read over there, it seems the owners were either not contactable or dont seem to care.
I can also assure you I had nothing to do with infecting the patrol4x4 site. Site infections are very common - When people use old code its only a matter of time. The patrol4x4 forum uses vBulletin 3.8.3 - an old out of date version. No doubt some hackers or even a robot found the old forum code and exploited it.
Anyhow - The option for users to sign up here is open.. Im not expecting anyone to come accross unless the patrol4x4 site goes belly up.
