What's going on with thesims.com forums?
Every time I try to visit it, I get a message about being a deceptive site and a phishing attempt? I see no acknowledgement of the issue anywhere.

Same here, I don't know why the Sims Forums has been considered as a "dangerous" site by Chrome, strangely emails about comments and what goes on the Sims Forums is moved to my spam bin and when clicking onto it, it gives the following.
This message seems dangerous
It contains a suspicious link that was used to steal people's personal information. Avoid clicking links or replying with personal information.I don't know if this issue is related to what's going on now with the Sims Forums, but both really need fixing as soon as possible.
@Wndblwz and @HazeMan1990 This was reported as a problem earlier today, but it was apparently fixed around an hour ago. I just tried the site in Chrome, both in a normal and an incognito window, and didn't have any trouble. So if you're still having this issue, try clearing Chrome's cache.
@puzzlezaddict Cool, will clear my cache to see if that works, just curious though can adblock plus or avira browser safety give false danger warnings?
@HazeMan1990 I'm sure it can. But I don't think that's the problem here—it seems like Chrome itself is blocking the site. After checking the forums earlier today (when I replied to you), I went back to look about an hour ago, and I loaded maybe half a dozen pages before I got the warning again. Clearing cache didn't help, nor did switching between normal and incognito windows. The site looks seriously wrong on Firefox as well, although it does load. (Safari seems to have no objection.)
I've reported it (as have others) and sent along this thread to the pile of information too. Feel free to add any more details here if you'd like.
