If you reply here:

(and press the quote button), you can see that monclerr.com has already been "pinged" so to speak.

WOT considers it a dangerous site:

It considers it dangerous, as in fraudulent, however it does seem to be clean

As I understand it, it means that at some point a link was posted to that site in that thread, and a ping had been sent to the site to say so. However, I can't find any links in that thread nor any record of a successful link, so can only presume that whatever it was, was removed.

I'm sure our Guru Brian will have an explanation for this, as it appears that the feature is part of a forum add-on, namely vBSEO, to which as a mere mod with some admin priveleges, I don't have access.

Not sure why it's been pinged - no danger to any TW users at present - but will keep an eye out. Cheers for the heads up.
