I think I'll take some days away from the forum. So much spam is not allowing me to have the time to actually respond to the real questions in here...

Sleepy, hope you can talk to the admins and that they have a solution for this. If nothing else, at least they should put more people to delete the spam. I can't imagine how you manage to deal with all of it... there are several of us sweeping the forums to find them.

Sleepy, I'd be more than happy to help you out with this. Just check about what I'd pm'd you before. I've worked on boards before.

I realize that I am about a day late getting back to this.

{Aren't the Holidays such a wonderful time of the year?

Snape read this with a sneer firmly in place, slowly his eyes rose to my face. "I assure you, Madam, that if you believe that to be true, then you really have gone off the deep end. Or is it possible, that you may be the long lost daughter of Professor Trelawny?", he asked me, having arched that godforsaken eyebrow and looked down his nose, with no amount of amusement in his jet black eyes. "In either case, I suggest that you really must go visit St. Mungo's very soon. The last I was informed, they had a nice padded cell, just your size, waiting for you"

Why, the audacity of that man could be so absolutely infuriating! Who the hell did he think he was? To presume, that just because my mum was, in fact, Sybill Trelawny, I would be as... as... I have no idea what could have been floating around in that narcissistic mind of his.

Clearly, one thing that he is not considering, with his acerbic assertation of mum, was who my father was. But, then again, he more than likely did not know who that "unfortunate" man might be. }

Ok, Ok I know that this is neither the time nor the place for such frivolities. I guess you could say it was my own bit of "spam" Laughing (in a different part of the forum, of course, tell me what think. hehehe. Here's that link http://forums.sycophanthex.com/viewtopic.php?p=7313#7313)

I apologize for that little segway. It just hit me Laughing .

But as I was saying, aren't the holidays such a wonderful time of year?

I got a little sidetracked and wasn't able to get back here til now. I will go get rid of all that I can. And put the links to those that I cannot here.

I will have to save the PMs to the Admins for later, as it is almost 5 in the morning where I am. And I do need a bit of sleep before hubby, the kids, and I go visit my daddy and STEP-MONSTER for Christmas. (btw that should explain a little why Santa is leaving me coal, as usual, in my stocking. Laughing )

[Oh, and that in absolutely no way is meant to be a stab to any of you wonderful ladies who may be step moms. Mine, is a monster! I have met others that are actually very nice. I, myself, am a step mom. And I use her as an example of what NOT to be. Again, with the segway.... ugh. Rolling Eyes ]

I'm going, I'm going.

Sleepy Very Happy

I think that more than a couple of those are probably leading back to the same page but looking at the urls they are all different, so it makes it hard to tell unless I were to go through and click on all of them and for now I still have other stuff in here to do and finish up.

It seemed like for every 1 of the spam the I deleted 10 more showed up, and I don't just mean I had 10 more for each one. I started going through by their name and deleting the posts that I could and got almost all the way through the forum and hit refresh and scrolled up and the damn names that I had already gotten rid of were back with new ones.....aaaaarrrgggg.

Anyway, they are done, for now, and I am gonna git while the gitten is good. lol

Happy Holidays to all of you and yours,

Sleepy Very Happy

90% of the board this morning has spam. This is totally ridiculous. Doesn't phpbb have ANYTHING to help with this? It must be either a spambot or a kid with WAY too much time on his hands. Too bad the government won't make spambots illegal.

I know it has been a few days since I have been on here for any length of time, sorry. I have been sick, and I am still not feeling well, but it won't take much energy to sit here and delete. Laughing

Looking through the forum, it does show that it has been neglected. Well, I am going to do what I can to make it a little nicer. There are certain parts of the forum however, that I cannot do anything in. Unfortunately, the spam will have to remain in those areas.

Below is a list of the ones I was unable to remove.

**edited**

I originally posted this at 9:38 pm, my time. I live in Illinois in USA if that helps. It is now 2:47 pm my time. I just finished going through the entire forum looking for spam. **edit** It should be 2:47 A.m not P.m lol

I only took maybe 2 bathroom breaks in that time. And they were just long enough to do the business about 2 -3 minutes. I was working on the spam the rest of the time.

My hubby loves me a lot. When my cup runneth dry he would get up and get me another. And I didn't even have to ask. I put on my head phones set up my Itunes and got busy, while hubby and the kids were watching tv.

Any way what the point is, is that FINALLY, I have ridden the forum of all the spam I could. And would you believe that I was on here the 24th and got rid of the stuff (I think it was the 24th). I will try to keep a better eye on it and rid all of us of it sooner.

That may result in not making a post to all of you, everytime that I have done anything. If I see any I will just go delete it. Please continue to make posts when you find any.

Thanks for all of your help and diligence. Wink

Sleepy Very Happy
