Yeah, it looks like the site is getting attacked with spam a bit more than normal. I'm trying to see if I can find a way to block spammers out before they can post. Meanwhile the moderators are just going to have to be a little bit busier than usual. Hopefully we get this solved soon! Hang in there!

Saw this last night. Thanks for getting to it so fast . This is a family web site. I hope you can keep this junk blocked, so the kids can look at this site again.
Good Luck

Alright, I got a spam blocker installed, hopefully it is a good one. Let me know if any more spam shows up.

Thanks Admin.
I am curious , who are the 42 new members in the last couple days. Seems like a big jump for such a short time. Are these all spammers? or plan A and B really working good. LOL.
I looked at my notes, for sure on the 22nd of October the count was 254. That was the first day I saw strange vodoo  writing from   member 254 show up here.
And the new member  names are sure strange. As are the names of users who logged on today........Huh

The users that logged in today, many of them appear to be spammers. Because of their log-in names and their country of origin. Please take a look at their profiles, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. I think member 254 may have started all this.

I took a look at the registration form, and I realized that the little box with the letters (it's called a CAPTCHA) had the same 5 or so letters everytime. Obviously the spammers figured that out and started registering, so now there is a brand new anti-bot form on the registration form as well as a trick question. It asks you whether you are human or not and the possible answers are "Yes", "No", and "Unsure". Obviously only a human would know to pick yes. Hopefully everything combined will cut down on all the spam running around in this forum.

Cheers!
Admin

P.S. The spam blocker just caught it's first victim! Haha!  Cool
