What the... spam?!?

Seriously, why the spam? I don't think anyone who uses these boards cares for the spamming, and if it keeps up Clay may be forced to remove the unregistered guest poster function (which I don't think anyone wants).

I know Clay is busy so he can't regulate these boards everyday, but that shouldn't give people the impression that they can just flood it with junk-posts either.

My bad. I was mysteriously logged out, and as such, was not informed there were new posts. I actually DO check daily, but I just thought it was all old since no little yellow post-its showed up...

I've blocked a few of the spamming IPs, but they seem dynamic, so I don't know how much good it will do. I'm gonna keep a tighter watch now.

I apologize to everyone for the delay.

I stand corrected. I just assumed you were busy, what with the two OVA guides, the two projects with Niko, working on responding to posts on a number of forums, and all of the other day-to-day and personal responsibilities you may have. If it were me I'd be swamped :) . Seriously though, you've always seemed highly dedicated to these boards and the OVA community, and it's something that I (and I'm sure many other posters) greatly appreciate.

It's okay. You can only do so much. I was just rather alarmed at seeing a flood of unwanted spam cluttering up otherwise good posts. Hopefully, now that you've deleted the spam, the spammers won't find this forum such an enticing prospect.

Just a word of warning, we got more spam in G.&P.B.

Clay, you might want to edit the url out of the posts in the future.

It seems we have a little more spam in the OVA section too, but thankfully not as many as last time.

Addressed this in another thread.
