Hi everyone – you are 100% right. We got hit with Spam pretty hard, and had a few bugs in the vb admin that prevented us from being able to clean this up immediately. That combined with the fact that we have had some new members join the team, made it difficult to address this.
Rest assured, the mod team is going to be back on top of things, and the forums will be back to normal by the end of this week. We’ll also do a better job of communicating what’s going on more pro-actively in the future as well.
