Has the forum been hacked?

[ScottyDave]

As title, seem to be getting a lot of weird posts lately especially today. Can't see how the scammers would pay for access so wondering if we've been hacked.

You dont need to pay for access - I joined free few days ago and expected to pay £20-odd fee as it used to be but I was surprised to go on forum after a quick registration.

Im guessing someone set up a bogus account and is spamming

Hope it's not a scam, just bought some little blue tablets. And a US passport...

We've not been hacked the management are onto it, please bear with.

Sound this is my cheerie place away from all the usual fake news, adds and other BS dross that generally floods the internet.

Hi all, no the forum hasn't been hacked but despite implementing what measures are available, it's very difficult to block all the BOTs while allowing self-registration. We may have to change it to Admin approval but we're on a bit of a suck-it-and-see exercise at the moment. I'll get on to this again tomorrow and see how we can improve the situation.

Thanks for your patience.

Fantastic support as ever, thanks Martin.

Looks like it was busy on here the other day at 5.14am - I must look in a bit earlier in the day....

Presumably something to do with this additional activity we've been having recently?

And is our newest member really Naughtyalan? If so, good to have you back Al!
