Somehow you clicked on the "Subscribe topic" link in the upper left of the screen, sort of right above your avatar (assuming you're on a PC, you're on your own for figuring out if you did it on mobile, although you should just be able to unsubscribe there too).

Just click on "Unsubscribe from topic" to stop the notifications (kinda like it says in the notice...but I digress).

that looks like the actual host name of the virtual private server (vps) being used to host this site.
yep, it is: (nerd warning)
$ host vps.rmcgirr83.org
vps.rmcgirr83.org has address 69.73.172.48
$ host waguns.org
waguns.org has address 69.73.172.48


something in the config of the forum software is not setup properly to use the waguns.org domain name.

^ Yup. I'm sure that Dan can chime in with Nerd Part Deux, but the translation is that vps.rmcgirr83.org is legit, and is another name for WaGuns.org.

Odd that it happened, and when I click on those, I need to log in again. Make sure it doesn't happen again. :rofl9: :ROFLMAO:

Everything is config properly. It SHOULD show WaGuns, but if anything goes wonky along the way it’ll default to McGirr.

Possibly because the only way I can get to the site during the day is to use the secret entrance....

Sorry if I came off as rude.

At first I thought I had some virus takeover in progress. Trying to hack into the inner bowel movements of Steve and Dan's Lair.

Nah, not at all. I even knew the answer to the real question, I just didn't realize that was what you were asking. I blame the pain meds for my new knee...
