LOL. You can see the big downward step in several of the various statistics when they started deleting the older series in the "Thread That Shall Not be Named".

If you get ANY unsolicited PMs asking you to join another site...

Oh, was that going around? I feel offended that I wasn't contacted! *******s! I hope they touch a fireworm with their naked hands!

hey, that might not be her picture either.

some members first got a red flag when she did not seem like a 22 year old in diving conversations.

Watch out fellas, you could be PM-ing a big hairy dude.

If you are missing your invite... well when I looked at their PM statistics, and saw how many OUTGOING PMs they had, I just nuked them all. No, I couldn't read them, but there were WAY too many for her being here only 4 days.

The forum was created on the first of January. She joined on the 31st of December and the 1st of January. She is user #4 ont the "other" board. Odds are she is imbedded in their operations somehow or was promised to be imbedded. She is a self proclaimed bikini model and her picture was gorgeous. She was asked directly about who was behind the site and refused to give an answer, claiming I was out to "get them". She has not been banned, but I do check her PM count on a recurring basis. I was told that she HAS been banned on other sites for the same behavior.

But really, who cares. The spamming has been stopped and for that we are greatful. Since I don't want them to get any more advertisement (and the resultant traffic), I will now close this thread. If you have any questions, please PM or E-Mail me directly. Thanks for your concern.
