      Over the past week the forums was hit hard with spambots. Being a web developer I never understood the thrill people get out of hacking sites with no benefit. Anyway, the forums were upgraded and some changes put into place to help try to stop the spam. I check and approve users as they now ask to be accepted. However some emails/names do not look like spam because it is an actual person trying to spam the forums or get people to click on links.

      If you come across any posts like this (we had one earlier from marvelart and I got rid of him) please do not click on any of the links and let me know. You can send me a message or flag the post and I will check it out. I am usually on the forums a few times and will hopefully keep it clean for everyone.

          Ah! I’ve just worked out after a week how to re confirm my email address! Hope you’ve all been blessed by my silence 😉
