    Be Careful, lots of new members were spammers

    and have been banned,
    so if by some chance you get a PM or email from someone that claims to be a member here, and it seems a bit odd, please let me know,

    I've banned a handful of spammers today and yesterday,
    more than I have in a good while,



    Thanks

          That could explain why the numbers of people on the site appear to have jumped a lot in the last couple of weeks

                        maybe,

                        not sure if Vern can,


                        thing is, facts, as in counter with them, helps keep the trolls at bay


                        damn Russians are still at it,


                        I used to check the new members every few days or once a week,

                        now,, at least twice a day, and ban one or 2 each time it seems,
