My XOOPs is a porn site?

So i get this message from one of my new artists having trouble accessing my XOOPS site. His ISP isnt allowing access to me because..... well, read the PASTED message below and youll get teh jist of it.

Can someone in XOOPS let me know if theres any reason THEY can think of, about the installations of XOOPS pages which would make an ISP think i am a PORN or HACKING site?

I guess some of the pictures and/or videoclips on your website are considered to be pornographic in Oman.

pics im not sure of
the only pics in the gallery are

pics of djs and event flyers
videos in the gallery are , well, music videos from Europe mainly
and as for the pics in peoples yogurt gallery...... that would be pics of themselves


its my impression that Oman isp is basing it from something in the code.
I highly doubt they would have searched through the thousands of pages on my site personally
no way would a single person do that
nor would they appoint a company to do that for one website



there must be something in the code?
ill take a look at the meta tags in just a bit as well

Just email them at:

admin@omantel.net.om

and find out what caused that. It's better than guessing...

Maybe they have penis envy of your keyboard skills..

Well I don't know for example 'hacking' in it terminology orginally was to build a big machine for example - The First Computer was Hacked together.. Maybe they think you are doing what they are meant to be saying a h4x or h4x0r why don't they block google have you typed for example 'xx-hacker' into google and clicked on the first google link...

It also could be IP based on a lot of service they have shared IP's 1000's of sites on the same IP check your whois record at www.domaintools.com it will tell you how many sites it has found on your IP...
