Google/Firefox has specialstage.com listed as an attack site. Is it safe to visit, or does anyone have an admin contact?

I have a Mac, so I went in anyway. But Safari makes me click two extra times for every page saying the end of the world is nigh.

Google gives me the same warning, but the page I clicked through for more info

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.specialstage.com/&hl=en

leads me to believe that the server that contains SS has infected sites on it, but that SS itself is OK. Notice the infected site listed does not seem to appear as part of SS. When I read this same page earlier, the infected sites on the server had something to do with herbal remedies, or some similar dreck. I gather George is working on it.

I'm inclined to believe a group of people decided to mark it as a dangerous site.
Just proceed, and click the "This site is safe" button near the top.

I think the hackers didn't like Jim deleting their ads/threads...now I'm getting 500 errors, and it's back on the Google block list.

It's 50% security through obscurity, 50% the fact that it's hard enough to intentionally get a program to work, let alone a virus...

As I sit here next to my Linux workstation that I can't get the wireless network card to work on nor my Linux SAS installation to install.
It does process this genomics data pretty quick though. Quad core, 1TB SATA3, 24 GB RAM and nothing works but LibreOffice, Notepad, and R. I can make do with those for now thankfully.
