Default Apologies re the spanning

We apologise for the disgusting material that has been spammed on to the forum during the night. Anyone who sees anything that looks in anyway pornographic or of a violent or sexual nature should NOT click on the post or any link from it. It will be removed as soon as humanly possible. We are all only human and unfortunatly cannot be here 24hrs a day to monitor the forum so please, especially juniors, do not click these posts.
There are some people with really sick minds out there who will stop at nothing.

I must give great thanks to Souffle for catching these awful spam posts and removing them right away! I sincerely apologize to anyone who happened to see these! I am outraged by this level of spam and have taken the appropriate action by removing these posts as well as the accounts who put them up.

Smoo had recently updated the website to block a large majority of these spam accounts, and the number of them had dropped to almost nothing. So I had made it so that people could once again activate their own accounts when they registered via an email notification. Unfortunately I am going to have to activate every account manually from now on as admin to keep this kind of filth off my forum... more work for me, but at least it can stop this sort of thing from happening.

Again my deepest apologies. Souffle thank you for handling this so quickly and posting an apology to the community as well, you do a great job here, don't know what Id do without you!

I saw them there, but I didn't click on them. I think you all do a good job of keeping spamming to a minimum. It's sad that there are people out there who would want to put material like that on a site like this.

Yeah when I saw those posts I was super surprised because I had never seen spam on here before! You guys do a really awesome job of keeping this forum on topic and friendly. ^__^

And sorry....I have a habit to click on any topic that I haven't read before....before I read the title. o.o
