I think you just let one of the moderators know about it.

PM a mod. They got most of it but there is one still stuck out there.

sadly it is happening more often lately. might need to change how people register :(

I PM'd KellyK. The problem we're having right now is that there are no mods logged in. There may be by now, but not when I first noticed them.

It seems to be happening in a lot of forums these days...I think the spambots are getting smarter every day!

I'll say!

I got an email in my spam folder from "Penguins."

It was uncanny, I tell you.

(I didn't open it...gmail tells you the first line of the email, and it was the e e cummings kind of spam.)

Our forum just got a bit of advertisement with Amy's appearance on HGTV, so that probably added to our appeal to the spammers.

You know when you register for a site and there's that box with wiggly letters/numbers you have to type out. Maybe that's what's needed , they keep people from automatically registering to a million sites just to post spam.

I've only been here about a month, but I have not received any spam.

There are 5 spam posts on the board right now. But I PM'd Ingy, so that should take care of that!
