We thought that it was about time we made a public announcement with regards to the increased levels of SPAM we seem to be receiving here on the forum and we also wanted you to be aware that we are doing our upmost to prevent it and that we are in no way, shape or form connected with any of it.

We are in no way alone as we know for a fact that the recent increase of SPAMMERS hitting forums has affected many forums not just ours. So there are many unhappy forum admins out there at the minute believe you me.

So, what actions have we taken? you might ask: We’ve totally flushed out our old banlist table and after having spent 3 hours compiling our defintive email banned list we are now glad to say that hopefully this should start to make a dent in the over all mindless SPAM that some of you may have seen on the forum over the last couple of weeks.

The list of banned email addresses MAY affect current users we can’t say at this stage as we haven’t done a dupe check against our database. At this stage what we will say is that we will deal with any questions as promptly as we can about individual accounts held here. We do not guarantee that we will actually remove entires from the ban list though.

We don’t want these idiots ruining our forum! Please feel free to comment on this (hopefully real forum members will get here before the SPAMMERS )

Regards and many thanks for your continued support.

I saw on other forums. they have same problems and i think one of them said that the guilty ones were one of the adverisers. Now i dont know much about that stuff so i cant help in that way. But i know that the person (spamer) is definitly a skinny ass guy with no life, big 12inch thick glases and with a girlfriend on GTA. If ya need help with to get rid of the problem in real life just click In that way I think i can help If I cant help then I know some people that can help

The same spam appeared on GYBO as well. We should trace thier IP and bombard it till it crashes?
