Hi, There seems to be a spate of chemistry sites being taken over by porn sites! I've just been informed of a similar problem with the following link: Encyclopedia of Analytical Instrumentation http://www.scimedia.com/chem-ed/analytic/ac-meths.htm now says "This website contains adult material not appropriate to be viewed by minors, If you are not 21 or older please do NOT enter." Let's hope this isn't happening to too many chemistry web resources!

I was going to ask this question last week, because the link had been dead for some weeks, and it had been very useful. Today, I had a deputation from our postgrads saying that the url is alive again, but it has now been taken over by a page that begins "If you are under 18 years of age or if it is illegal to view adult material in your community, please leave now." I have to get the link off all my web pages pronto - some of you may want to do the same.

This problem has been aired on the chminf-l list recently. Yes, apparently the owners of WebMolecules did not re-register their domain name and it got bought.
