Hi Dax... yea, sorry about that.. all gone now.

They finally hit in the morning. This was one of the smaller attacks I've seen in the last week or so. The largest was over 2X more than this last one.

I'll get to them as soon as I can.... please keep sending reports when you see them.

In instances like that do you prefer just a single report, since it's a site-wide spam bomb, or do you want a thread from each separate sub-forum reported?

One report is all that necessary. I get an email message, if there is a series they all pile onto the original email. So, to save the reporter some time, only one is necessary... if you wish to report all of them, it's fine.

I'm usually the night watchmen, so it may take a bit to get to it while I'm at work.. the folks at DS usually catch them during the day when I'm sleeping.

I actually do report some of the posts.  I think I did like 10 to get the point across and get Snaike off his butt from playing World of Tanks Hahaha.  When I logged in, there were like 3 pages of new posts (2.5 pages was Spam).  Bleccch...

LOL... no, I wasn't "Tanking"... I was actually commuting, but the point is made that as soon as I get to a computer, I have some cleaning to do. The reports are a good reminder, thanks.
