I just wanted to apologize to members who got spammed today by a new user who registered and sent private emails to selected accounts. The user account responsible has been deleted as soon as this has been discovered. Even though I make everyone confirm their emails during registration if a spammer is persistent enough and has a valid email account they can start emailing people, unfortunately there's nothing I can do to prevent that short of individually approving each registration which can before quite cumbersome... so hopefully you enjoy the content on this site enough to forgive this little lapse of security.. rest assured your email accounts were not disclosed to the spammer, they were blindly sending this spam via the forum system.
I'm sorry again for any inconvenience this has caused.
