Important message from the forum administration
 
This PM you received was from a spammer. That user has been terminated. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be making some site upgrades here in the next couple months and we'll lock down the user registration and PM process. It'll be a little more restrictive for new users but will block douche bags from making a mess.

Was this in reference to a "There's virus activity from your computer..." PM? I've gotten two of them in the last two days. No biggie...just FYI.

Yes, sorta. We have a fairly open and easy system to register and use the site. Which means it is fairly easy for douche bags to register and spam users users. We're underway on a major site upgrade and we'll implement some procedures to block spammers from wasting your time. Nothing will be different for established users.
