Ah, I remember these feoul creatures. They would come in my youth, and raid our forum where the defenses were weak...

ETA: holy cow, they made over a page of spam threads on N&N and Mirth? That's prolific. That's bot talent...

It seems they've returned in force, and with newfound vigour.

Thankfully it looks like the mighty Mithadan and fellow admins prevailed, and the forum has been scoured of this spam-filth. All hail the great defenders of the Downs!

Much credit belongs to Estelyn and others, who did most of the pruning. Thanks to all.

I would rep you for your speedy and heroic efforts, Mithadan, but I am told that I have to spread the rep around to others before I can do so.

I was able to rep Estelyn and mormegil.

It's nice to be a part of a legacy Middle Earth forum that hasn't been abandoned to the AI spambots Well done killing them off.
