    Sleeping or just relaxing from working several 11 hour shifts at work because of network issues lol.

    Trust me what you saw is only a very small amount of what we get before to many people see.

    What gets me are all the 3-year-old spam posts/threads, that somehow flew in under the radar, and never even become visible until some n00b spammer resurrects them for a brief moment of glory.

    And then, the ones that don't get resurrected, that you only find by manually digging through every single ancient

    We're working on it, yo.

    Cer0 and myself usually are around for the graveyard (in the US) shift, while Simon and Broomhead usually get the early morning shift.

    If you'd like to help us clear the spam, report the posts (exclamation point on the bottom of every reply). If you can't report, reply saying "spam" and report THAT post. We appreciate any help we can get.
