Howdy folks!
[/size]I understand that some people got a little concerned about last weeks numerous spam posts on the forum.
[/size]First of all, we did a cleanup immediately after these posts surfaced and when we received alerts about them. Thank you to all of you for reporting about this.
Some of you have asked if the forum was hacked. The answer is no. The spammers did not get access to the software or the server. They registered as regular members or used a so-called spambot to register and post bypassing our verification questions.
We have now upgraded the ?entrance? to registration, so it would be more challenging for spammers to register and post. However, once in awhile they are able to register as members and post and this is an ongoing war between forum owners and spammers and have been for years. So this is nothing new, but annoying nevertheless.
