Forum getting spammed

[chown55]

hi Adam,

Checked some of the posts on the site and appears you are being spammed. Noticed some spam about world of warcraft etc. Might be an SQL injection or php hole. I'd check if there is an update for vBullitin.

Just noticed so I thought I'd let you know as it may get worse, cheers

I've been banning users left, right and centre!

If anyone see's any spam messages that I've missed ;et me know but I think i've got them all so far.

Should have left it, my post just seems odd now!

matches the other 423 then...

Hehe. I got into my usual rant mode when I saw it and promptly deleted all traces of the user and post :D

It shouldn't happen again as we've put software in to prevent 'bots' signing up (as I understand it). Although if they're already signed up they may do it, but then i'll just clean it all up again.
