Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted 6 hours ago Krasnomayskiy, Tver Oblast St. Petersburg Leningradskaya, Krasnodar Krai (Twice) Lobnya (Five times) Moscow (Seven times) SIXTEEN times in the last month this forum has been attacked by Spammers in Russia. But they are from ALL-OVER Russia and it is unusual. It is routine to get attacks from Russia, India, Pakistan, China, Ukraine and even from parts of the US. But this many times from different places in Russia makes me think it is a coordinated attempt to penetrate our registration system to mess-us-up. My new system requires that I personally check out each new registrant, and have to manually approve them. Thus nobody gets through, but damn! A black-hole of time... Krasnomayskiy St. Petersburg It's a slow time, and thought I'd share my fascination with it all. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me...I've thought of that. But I do not want to discourage or turn away anyone who wants to join our community. Usually when they want to join...it is right now, and often will not come back if it appears we are closed. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
