I will add that I provided the information they'd need to identify the attacker(s) if the attacker(s) are the ones I suspect. There's no guarantee they'll care enough to follow up or press charges, no matter who brought the server down. But if my suspicions are correct, at least my information will make it easy to identify them. -

Grrrr ...
Yup. Just choose the option to report that this is falsely marked as an unsafe site. It will eventually get resolved. It can't be fooling that many people. There are still 30+ people viewing the fighting forum.
Someone obviously simply can't tolerate competition. It wouldn't surprise me if this forum was attacked the same way, next. -

Anyone can report any site they want to Google's phishing reporting service.

Google isn't listing the website as malicious now. Maybe it'll come off the list shortly. -

The site has made it on to several reputation services rather fast. Someone might be playing with the site and submitting it to various services. I just recommend anyone be careful and never use the same information for any internet website as you do for anything else you might use. -

It's probably because the browser on your iPad doesn't react to phishing warnings on sites.
Google is reporting that the site is safe, so the warning will probably go away after a while for all browsers.
By the way, Chrome and Firefox both have settings you can uncheck so that the warnings will stop showing up. I only recommend you uncheck these if you know what you're doing and don't browse to potentially malicious sites (like porn sites). I don't browse porn or bogus sites, so I'm pretty sure I'm 100% safe.

Wow, I haven't used Safari since forever. It's actually based on a Linux desktop (called KDE) browser. It's a good browser. I don't know if it has a phishing site check enabled like Chrome and Firefox does by default.
