Has the Howardforums site been hacked?

Check out Howardforums.com and see what happens - mine redirects me to some whacked out site with a flag flying, looks like it might be in Turkish.

Mine redirects in both Firefox and IE, and a guy here at work tried also.

Did you go to howardforums.net?
CTRL+Enter for .com
SHIFT+Enter for .net
😀

EDIT: cbeavers is right. Re-direct takes a few seconds to happen. Looks like they were hacked.
 
It opens for me just fine, but a few seconds later it redirects to another website. This is either by clicking your link or typing it manually *due to redirect exploits in website addresses*

If you are quick enough and click a link you are good to go it looks like haha

They were definitely hacked by this Ayyildiz Team. If you check their forums it looks to be a bunch of Turkish bragging about the hacks they did.
They seem to stick to open security holes in BB software pages.
I would translate some of this stuff but can't seem to find a free Turkish to English translator online.
