It appears spambots have found us. We need to set up a verification thing when you register. Most sites do it now, some of them are very good, and even bots can't figure them out.

If you need help with moderation, give me a shout!

I apologize for the amount of spam. I'm spread a little thin trying to admin both forums and the "email registration" was turned off temporarily to a fix a different problem, but it's re instated now.

For Everyone

Please, if you see a post that could be Spam, report it by clicking the white triangle with the black exclamation mark in it that is on the post in question. This makes it easier to locate and delete all posts by the suspected spammer with one click. The moderators will see the spam whether or not you report it, but reporting makes it easier to locate the problem.

Also, please DO NOT reply to spam messages in any threads. It makes it harder to clean up the forum and adds to the confusion. Once the Spam posts are deleted it looks like you're talking to yourself...

Many thanks to the following users for reporting Spam posts: Morbid, stine, daedicarus, UpDownTurnAround, madtea, and MLlanes.


Thank you.


Now get out there and take fotos...

oh, man. sorry to bother you mods again, but the forum is getting killed by those spam bots. EVERY single entry on the forums' index page is spam right now and the rating system is becoming a joke since every bot gives its thread 5 stars. is there any chance that this could be handled? i know it's overwhealming, but pleeeeeeaaaase? huge pretty-please? *gives bambi eyes*
