Sorry for the spam attack which you all had to endure
Quote | Reply
it wasn't really spam. it was just an attack. we get these from time to time. i'm working on whittling down the IP bans right now, so when i do that those who were unwittingly caught in an IP ban will be allowed back in, but so will some of these bots. so we might have to endure a few more of these as the morning goes on, please be patient if you see a few more of these.

Dont complain about the results you did n't get from the training you did n't do.

I thought it was "the call"...I had my Nike's laced up and was lying in my bunk-bed waiting for the Mothership.

no worries.

That's what I get for staying up too late (after a race no less). -_-

I understand that it's a never ending game of cat and mouse. Reminds me of Road Runner and Wiley Coyote. Even though you are the good guy, and, the one we root for. You are Wiley Coyote using ACME "everything" to do the best you can - but... alas

I never once saw the Road Runner get caught.

I saw this on a white board in a window box at my daughters middle school...

Sorry, that should have been in pink but I look at pink the same way you look at capital letters.

We Europeans aren't having much luck browsing the slowtwitch boards in the morning nowadays!
Can all symbols be banned? is that a way to block the spammers?

Same thing happened to letsrun recently, it's really annoying.

I'd actually suggest only allowing approved users to post. Say after a few days from creation of ID, and perhaps after a few posts in a Holding (Newbie?) Forum. Requiring admin approval.

Wonder if Dan is aware of this most recent attack. Or if they just are overwhelming firewalls.

Another bump for us Europeans.
