I can see having forums for bases and "breaking news" leads to confusion. Most of the time the breaking news is ... well.. not my thing, so I appreciate the post in the "bases" forum.
I checked the notams for the base and see nothing unusual. I suppose aircraft heading to the base would be refused landing rights if it really is locked down, but it seems odd they didn't post this as a notam.
Here is the link for notams:
