Been a member over there for over 20 years. Went to sign in the other day and realized I'm locked out! Message says "Banned due to being hacked" Attached File I can't seem to find an email address or any other way to contact anyone on the sight! Any help would be much appreciated...

They seem pretty stringent on contact  . I would try the contact form that’s under the “contact us” at the bottom of the main page. https://smith-wessonforum.com/help/faq/  I’ve never been a member there so maybe someone else will chime in. |
No one is untouchable.

Nope.... I'm completely locked out. Every hyperlink I click immediately gives me the "banned" message..

Happened to me on the Colt forum a couple years ago Couldn’t even look. Several weeks later I was able to get in. The Smith Forum runs a very tight ship. I got warned for the term “crapshoot”. There is good information there but some of the members can be a little uptight. |

Like here, a lot of accounts have been hacked over there. I responded to a for sale add that had a good price on some 39 grips and the account vanished. I reached out to admin and it turned out the account had been hacked. They have an “office” forum. If you want, I can start a thread in there and see what they say about who to contact. |

Sent a message... We'll see if they respond. Thanks brother ETA: I'm "SrBenelli" over there too

I've not been banned yet, but as soon as I paid to support the forum, my credit card was stolen. For someone who's investing so much effort into a social side of the forum, to use a cracked or criminal processor is a little ironic. |
