    MSN is fine. They are blocking certain queries to keep phpBB site from being hacked.

    Yes, MSN has been blocking queries that contain "phpBB" for a while now.

    That's pretty funny. gg MSN. Google came out with a few malware searches similar to this, but they're using it for good -- not evil.
