Looks like my new challenge question was not good enough to thwart the spammers. It has been adjusted and I am cleaning up the chafe. Sorry about the problems.

That being said. Look for a notice for the forums new address coming soon, with upgrade to forum version. I will try to get to this in next few weeks.

Not sure how hard it would be to implement on this site but on another forum I use you can only post one message per day until you have like 5 posts. Helps with spammers out of the gate like this.

As always, thank you for your continued support of the forum.

These spammers are terrible people and make life difficult for everyone. Being in IT I have had my fair share of dealings with them so I understand your pain.
