Is it me or does the link called "rename your Admin CP directory and hide all links to it" on the page http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/...rotection/ lead to a very spammy website?

Oops, forgot to re-enable antivirus. So where exactly is mybbsecurity.net supposed to lead to?

^ if there are links to mybbsecurity.net then that site is no longer available.
I missed that site's links on above referred page (such links will be removed)

please see this guidance for renaming admin directory

At one point, mybbsecurity.net was owned by a staff member, who is no longer on the team.
