Fornits isn't under attack per-se. It's a DDoS by on the server, which hosts a bunch of stuff.  This has happened before.

is it safe to post here or will i get hacked ?

lol.. it's safe.  a DDoS is just a whole bunch of people accessing the site at the same time to clog it up with requests.  It doesn't compromise anything but the forums responsiveness.

Botnet DDoS...  from whom?  List stretches around the block.  We're working on a solution, though.  Until then, the site might be up and down a bit.
