I was just reporting a bunch of SPAM. Since you've got this thread, I'll stop. They'll notice them.

Board hacked?

What is going on with the "Other Topics" forum?

 

[a-dev]

I still don't know what purpose that kind of spam serves. I must google it later.

Re: Board hacked?

I was wondering that myself. Whatever it is, there seems to be a new thread about every minute.

Just spammers

 

[Stryker2011]

Holy crap. How many pages of that garbage are there? Hackers need to be hunted down and disemboweled.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Other Topics got hit pretty hard

 

[Wor-Gar]

I never saw any spam. What was it?

Well, found this on wikipedia

Forum spam is the creation of advertising messages on Internet forums. It is generally done by automated spambots. Most forum spam consists of links to external sites, with the dual goals of increasing search engine visibility in highly competitive areas such as weight loss, pharmaceuticals, gambling, pornography, real estate or loans, and generating more traffic for these commercial websites. Some of these links contain code to track the spambot's identity; if a sale goes through, the spammer behind the spambot earns a commission

But I dunno, something like what we've got right now, I will just assume it's complete nonsense at best or a scam at worst and I will ignore it.

Go to the Forum Questions section, and you’ll see it.

The guy in the suggestions forum posted 768 times today.

Dave's got bugs.

 

[a-dev]

It's always sections I don't care about thankfully.

Re: Board hacked?

There should be a limit of how many posts per hour a newly registered newbie could create. And Dave needs to clean up that mess, it's crazy already.

Hm. Bewildering indeed.

Yeah, I only saw it because I sometimes click on "New posts". Otherwise I would have probably missed it, too.
