Has GWGuru been hacked ? - Guild Wars Forums

Swinging Fists · Oct 23, 2006, 08:34 AM // 08:34

I've been reading some threads and noticed the first post of a page has an advertisement to the right. Ok, I assume maybe this site is earning some advertising revenue to keep the site going. But then as I read through thread, I start seeing words like "Guild Wars" as links to gold-selling and powerlevelling service sites. Also, other words are linked to other sites. They don't appear to be made by the posters themselves because they have titles that indicate they have been around a while.

What's up with this ?

edit: While posting, I contemplated intentionally mistyping the name of the game, but I decided not to, to see what happened. Sure enough, about a second after my post showed up, I saw the name of the game change to a link - one for a gold selling site.
