We are aware that spam is on the rise in almost all major forums online.
Recently we had an incident where the spammer had been using PM as a method of sending out bogus pornographic links, but titled as "Awesome Pics/videos of my super-modified BMW!!! Pls Look!!!" or something very similar.
We are strongly working on the issue, and we hope to resolve it soon, but we ask for your patience while we work on it. IP's have been checked and ISP's have been notified. If you do receive more of these PM's please DO NOT open them, or DO NOT click on any link. Instead, we ask you guys to just report them to any moderator or myself of any PM you receive as a spam or looks like it may be.
We thank all of you in advance for your patience and understanding, and for any assistance that can help put a stop to this. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Several sites have reported similar spam.
