I know all sites get spam, but what's with the sudden hits of spam? I'd never seen this much before and this fast, it's almost like everytime [every 3-4 hours] I come on here there's a whole bunch of new posts that are all spam

It's because I haven't been on for over 12 hours, and haven't deleted it yet. ;)

Won't change the fact that we're falling apart, and look another spam post. I wish I could remove them or something... oh well...

I dunno know, it seems like we go through seasons. I remember one time we had to lock the ps3 section for a few days because spam bots were lighting it up with spam. Seems like some sort of bot targeting the forum or something, it'll probably die off in a while and then flare up again in a few months.

Ice cube- you can now move topics to spam. Don't abuse it. I also updated the signing in to hopefully lesson the amount of spam

Funny, they never posted after I got the power to remove them!
[And no I did not alter the way the world works so spam would affect this site and I would have more power in the world.]
