I know that it isn't the Board, because there's a post which has replies taking up the greater part of the webpage, and I would have noticed if something like that was on the board. On the other hand, exept for that (and all the other people asking 'where are we') it looks exactly like the board, and I'm getting this uncanny valley vibe. I got here from the Wiki, but it's being so vauge I have no idea what's going on.

So...help with this, please?

I'm half-wondering if this is going to happen every August. The idea of switching to a more controllable forum now that Oddlots seems to be down for good, maybe with a post on the Board explaining where we went, could do nicely, I guess. The alternative is using this one as our main Board, since it never seems to get hit by spammers.

I'm diving into cleanup now.

I bet this causes the same sort of emotion as being a survivor in a zombie apocalypse.

The spambots have inflicted a bunch on us.

That's quite a lot. I wonder if we'll get more from the same source.

This is actually the first time I've ever actually been in the middle of a spam attack. Huh. Well, might as well make myself comfortable.

It seems more like a directed effort to screw up the board than an effort to make any sort of point, or for that matter sale.

I wonder what we did to attract them this time. Ah well, at least this one's speaking English. Want some popcorn? holds out mega tub of buttery popcorn
