Default The Spam problem, We need your help!

The admins and all the mods are doing everything we can to help with this problem. The sad part is that neither myself or the other waterdr are the lead admin and we can not change the log in setup. We need your help to get the owners of the board to come in and clean this place up and help maybe get a new forum skin on it too.

Here is what we need you to do. Click the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and send as many emails as you can asking them to help us with the spam problem and get this forum back in shape.

I know the spam sucks and trust me you all have no idea how many spammers have been dealt with lately. So please help us out and email the **** out of the owners of this board.

Thanks,
Dustin

Sending an email to site admins and reporting posts are two separate things. Dustin means going to the bottom of the forum page and clicking the link that actually says, "Contact Us" and sending an e-mail to admins with full rights to the site so that they can upgrade the software and make this place a little less vulnerable to spammers.

Yeah, unfortunately even the moderators can't stop this. You need full site administrators to update the security software, etc, etc...

I could easily host it on one of my servers if that ever happened It doesn't take much space or bandwidth to host a forum.

We don't know the lead admin they only post when something happens to the site. Like when it crashed awhile ago.
