Hey Moderators !!!

(quoted from post at 10:29:19 10/01/16) What's going on here? Have we been invaded????

Cary,

When I first went to the N Forum today all I saw was political hype and thought that maybe because I actually said something GOOD about CO2 coming out of tractors cultivating fields, to Royse in my Marvel rebuild thread, that my IP address was being re-routed to a political discussion forum. :p

I didn't scroll long enough to see that the N forum was still there.

Methinks YT has been hacked by a TROLL.

I do so love when people use the word "hacked". Doesn't take any hacking to sign up for a free account and then post spam to a forum. The offender in question isn't really that bad, all things considered.
 
Maybe the mod/s can institute a 30 minute time between posts for new members? I've seen a few places do such a thing for the first month after someone signs up. That or a similar limit untill you've posted 10 threads.
 

terry, he's neither a hacker nor a troll. just another jerk with a spambot, being paid by some lowlife SEO (search engine optimization) company to spam links to a particular site. it's a weak spot in how search engines decide how to order the search results which is taken advantage of by *******s, altho ususally far less effectively.

as BTH points out, it doesn't take a hacker to register here - unless we are hackers too ;)
 

phpBB, which is what runs the modern view here, has many tools to prevent this sort of thing. i wonder how badly this site's hands are tied by maintaining 2 different sets of forum software.
