    More spam on the Newbie FAQ board. This time it's of the blatant p0rn-I'm-trying-to-get-paid-for-clickthru's-internet type. Quite rare around these parts.

    Has boards been added to some spammer's hitlist or something (seriously)?

    Is it time to introduce referrals for new members? :)

    AFAIK, this "guy" could be a bot tailored to VB boards.. I saw a couple of registraitions for celebguy_dv in a number of places.
