Please let us know what you learn. That was exactly what I was thinking.

Well, found this on wikipedia

Forum spam is the creation of advertising messages on Internet forums. It is generally done by automated spambots. Most forum spam consists of links to external sites, with the dual goals of increasing search engine visibility in highly competitive areas such as weight loss, pharmaceuticals, gambling, pornography, real estate or loans, and generating more traffic for these commercial websites. Some of these links contain code to track the spambot's identity; if a sale goes through, the spammer behind the spambot earns a commission

But I dunno, something like what we've got right now, I will just assume it's complete nonsense at best or a scam at worst and I will ignore it.
 
Re: Board hacked?

There should be a limit of how many posts per hour a newly registered newbie could create. And Dave needs to clean up that mess, it's crazy already.

Hm. Bewildering indeed.

It's always sections I don't care about thankfully.

Yeah, I only saw it because I sometimes click on "New posts". Otherwise I would have probably missed it, too.
