Forum -formerly- overtaken with spam
« on: March 05, 2011, 12:02:58 PM »
Hey guys, as far as I can tell, no one really comes here anymore, and there is an insane amount of spam. Spam messages have to be deleted message by message, so it doesn't seem worth it to try and keep up with it all.

But, if the forums ever become active again, or Piano Squall goes back on tour, I'll see if I can do my part in trying to keep this place clean. Just wanted to let you know, I do see what's going on. The forums are being hit pretty hard with spam :(

If anyone finds this in the flood of spam. We need more moderators, people willing to keep the place clean. I don't know if I have the authority to keep this place clean, but is anyone here willing to help with that?

Let me know, and I'll drop your name by. I'm looking at you Genesis :)

Yare yare... I get a time-consuming job that involves me having to keep adding spam filters regularly, just to peek back in and see that this place needs better spam filters of its own. What am I gonna do with all of you..?
