Maybe Russian mail order brides!
91 is the country code for India.

Unfortunately, most of us mods only have access to their own forums. I'd gladly clean up this spam in other forums if I had access.

I really hope the site owner eventually logs on and fixes the spam issue. It's becoming nearly impossible to effectively use this site.

I'd been kicking myself for not purchasing a membership here it now I'm glad j didn't as it seems like that didn't resolve the issues any more effectively.

Now the spammers are bumping legitimate threads.

It's been real, GC.

Since the owner of the site was unable to raise the money he requested to keep it going, does anyone else think he has purposely abandoned it?

Someone has to have contact information for John Hammell. Someone has to know what is going on IMO.

It seems to me that the respectful thing to do if John no longer wishes to continue is to simply acknowledge that fact and shut the place down.

As for me, I'm gone, baby, gone. Ain't got time for this. See ya, guys.

Yeah, I'm afraid that's all, folks.
Don't think I will be back soon.

What the heck happened that Tinydancer got banned?? I am assuming that it was a mistake in trying to clean up the latest spam attack?
