Cleaned up!

Jeez, I get back from vacation at 2am from the airport and I have tons of spam waiting for me... LOL.

All users were banned and topics were removed.

I'm glad you took care of it, because it was distracting me from earning up to $249 an hour just from working at home.

Seriously!! How is single bot allowed to go for 12 13 hours with ~~150+~~ 165+ posts?

good day.

PL1 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2014, 08:49:24 am »

In additiion to Saint and SirWoogie, I count seven members here with "global moderator" permissions.

Only one of them has been logged in since the spam-storm started.

Could be worse -- could be 165+ accounts with one post each instead of one account with 165+ posts.

Agreed -- and at least the one kept to a single sub forum rather than the whole site !

Don't know, already nuked it

The account was several weeks old IIRC.

Jeesh crackers, are you nancies so sunlight averse you can't find something to do for half a day if the site is spammed out? It's not like Saint is running a subscription service, which is odd because he keeps cashing the checks I send...

I for one welcome our new members and am glad they have unique wares to hawk. Half of them type in a manner easier to comprehend than Ed anyway.

Crying for moderators without the ability to moderate your BYOAC addiction.

Welcome Scotty to the role of bitchboy overlord. Enjoy the inbox - I'm sure it'll be flooding.

Yeah, I guess DeLuSioNal29 got tired of bringing doughnuts to the weekly Meeting of the Mods and talked Saint into recruiting me.

I take it that 404 and X2 will forever keep me from joining those ranks.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #29 on:** August 25, 2014, 07:30:44 pm »

It's not like you are alone on that man.

404 keeps getting put on mandatory vacation, X2 is ignored. Not seeing those walls of text has done wonders for my sanity
