What is going on here!?!

I didn't know where to post this, but anyways...

What's with these spam ads popping up here? They're showing up in the home page board news, the Rules & Regs sub-board... I mean, what's going on, what's with these guys doing this??

Okay, sorry for my outburst, people, but this is kinda pissing me off...>_<

You are not alone.

I have no     clue how these goddamn spam bots found their way here and I swear, if I find out that this is a 4chan type prank, I will MOIDERLIZE whoever is doing this.

Hey Star, would it be possible for you to "lock" the Rules board so only mods would be able to start new topics? There's a chance the bot might not be programmed to post in any other board.

[FallenStar]

Doesn't look like it. I can only close that one topic - not the whole board itself.

im new here, but perhaps you can program in something that will close the connection to an ip if it tries to acces the page more than 5 times in 20 seconds?
also i havent seen anypopups at all, so did you guys fix it?

By making it so that members have to be approved before they can post seems to keep them out.

I'm sorry to be a jerkoff about this, but I wanna call SPAM here. This guy posted this "note" in eight different threads. -_-

Again?  That fool didn't learn his lesson the last time, I guess.
