Hey guys, sorry for all the Spambots. We're working on it.

We're trying fixing the captcha box at registration, so that we can prove people are humans before they register for a username. Remember, we're all volunteers here. We've got jobs, relationships, kids, pets, etc. Sometimes work takes longer than you think it should.

In the meantime, try to refrain from posting in the spam threads. I know, they're annoying, and you're funny. It's a tough combination to ignore. But when mods see a spambot, we can delete the bot and all of the bots threads with a quick click, but if you post in the thread, then we have to go back and delete all the threads that legit members have posted in.

Stick with us, we'll get there! In the meantime, maybe you can enjoy some excellent movies or television shows on-line!

There's still an on-going effort to work on this. In the meantime, please remember not to post in spambot-created threads. The only thing that does is create more work for moderators who are already getting tired of cleaning up spambot messes.

Also, it's often hard to spot a spambot that posts in an existing thread. If you see that, flag the post and we'll take care of it.

Thanks.
