FTFY

It's taken care of. For future reference - if you see anything that looks suspicious, PM me and I'll check it out. Sorry about the trouble, guys. We've been getting a lot of bots lately.

One more recommendation - don't leave the link exposed in forum. Spiders pick it up and it attracts other spambots.

Took care of it.

Good work all!
Damn spammers are everywhere these days, even Space Sim Central has had outbreaks of them

At least he got me to return to the forums to check things out, I suppose.

Yeah, I got one too. Blerg.

I didn't and feel left out now.

I'm left out too!

The bot seems to have started with the people that joined the forum first and worked its way outward, so Josh probably has one too.

So, some time in a year or so I can expect this email? Great
