Spam is worse than usual right now, but not as bad as it has been before.

Usually each spammer will make 2 or 3 posts, then vanish. Right now we've got one account that makes a TON of threads, and keeps coming back a few times a day. Plus a couple that are similar, but not quite as active. Normally this spam-bot would just get banned, but PJ is on tour.

Although this spam is actually easier to clean up than normal, because it mostly all stays in one sub-forum.

Yeah I've taken out shit loads this week already. I logged in just before going to sleep last night and cleared about 15 posts but as I was clearing them, new ones were already being posted and as I was so tired I gave up!

I've messaged Peej about a couple of the posters but he's on tour until the 23rd I think. If anyone has his email or phone number and wants to tell him to quickly log in and delete username: Bestlepa then it would make things a lot easier!

For now though I think this area of the forum is gonna be a bit of a no go!

Please tell me you didn't delete that one!? We could have turned it into a thread of our own for when people are really bored at work!

Haha, yeah I got rid, but that sounds like a nice idea. I'd like a thread where I just talk to myself when Im bored at work, Kellys bored at work journal. a bit like now. my post count has fallen dramatically since not festing last year, perhaps I could comment with 'lol' everytime someone says something hmm

I'm waiting for the official final poster/line-up to be released before I wanna get super-gushy about who I want to see..

*edit - just saw the photo of it in another thread, will squint some more.

has anyone started a "big UK festers meet-up" thread yet? if not, I hope it's still gonna happen in Mothers :)

It pretty much happens naturally now. Plus there's so many Brits there these days you get to the point where you don't want to meet any more. :wink:

You only have yourself and your constant Fest chat since 2008 to blame!

But now I'm so far away, (you and Mrs Kenny excluded) I never see anyone the rest of the time so bumping into them all will be fresh and interesting. For a bit.. maybe :P
