Has our site been hacked?

[Chris G]

Has anyone noticed the rather suspect names on some of the new members listed as being on-line? brother12345printer, singulairbuying, and a couple of others. You can't view the profiles if you click on them. Have we been hacked?

I do apologize if these are real people, but it sure doens't look like it to me. Just don't want our site to go down because someone is fooling around, or loading us up with spammers.

I did notice singulairbuying the other day. In the past I have noticed that I cant see a really new member for a few days but these names do seem like advertisements for sure. Vdub?

[Chris G]

I pm'd vdub a while ago. he's clearly not home

[Chris G]

Seems like there are new members joining at an alarming rate the last few days! It defies the odds! I hope there are not that many new weg sufferers!

Some new names seem strange indeed!
I hope Andrew or vdub will check the forum soon again.
I also noticed that some of the postings are 'cut in half', I mean, half of the text is gone, so you cannot read the whole message!

I haven't even been able to get on the site in close to a week.

Those are probably spammer accounts. Basically, they are programs that scour the net for forums to post dumb advertisements to. I'm pretty sure that's why Andrew has it set up that you need admin approval before you can post.

I noticed some names seem a bit odd and that there seems to be quite an increase in people joining. The other thing is it has been quite some time since anyone new said hi, surely they are not all shy?

I just went to the list of who is on and 9 of the 17 names don't have a profile. Definitely seems wrong.

Also, I have noticed that those who do not have a profile may be logged in, but don't seem to be actually browsing any specific threads. Come on folks, you can't be that shy. If you are real, please let us know!
