I think they are warming up for Tuesday.
Seriously.

Re: Spammers
Crap... I know that they have succeeded in making visits to THN a dreaded task for some of us.
I know this does not need to be said, but I'll say it anyway...
EVERYBODY!!!! Just PLEASE!!!!!
DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THOSE DAMNED LINKS!!!!
Do not enter any posts after an entry by one of these bots... Responding only makes it more difficult for mods to find them!
Thanks for all your help, and for your patience. We are doing the best we can to keep up.

Just to clarify - should we consider any one of those bot posts a thread killer?

Not a killer, just a temporary disabler. After they've been deleted, normal posting can resume.

We know that this is likely to make responding to certain posters a little delayed... maybe even less satisfying
, but we really appreciate when we can see all of the bot crap as the most recent post. Again, thanks to all for your patience.
BTW... I accidentally clicked one of the links while cleaning out over 80 spam posts and killing multiple bots yesterday... scared the crap out of me... locked me onto a nasty Russian porn page, and wouldn't respond to any commands... had to do a hard reboot because it was the only way to get out... ran a deep scan when I restarted. Nothing was found, but seriously, DON'T click the damned links...

Re: Spammers
We appreciate your patience, but there's only so much we can do when we are being bombarded nightly. We have added some security measures and are currently working on some workarounds to make it more difficult. Thanks.

Re: Spammers
Sucks. Thanks for your work trying to keep those idiots out. If you've ever been responsible for running a website, the barrage of spambots, sql injection, etc; that gets thrown at you is insane. People have no clue.

Good thing nobody here likes nasty Russian porn.

You clicked the link, didn't you?
Of course not. And if a large leather-clad woman named "Mistress Helga" registers you've never heard of me.
