I'm used to it here and there, but why so much in the last few days?

I blame all the extra traffic for this month's Together Retro. Nothing brings a crowd like Qwak! :mrgreen:

I think I was the first to report that iphone spam yesterday all 8 of them, all others should also click the report button when you see spam. Its the exclamation mark in a box towards the bottom of each post.

I've reported a lot on here in the past week too. Mostly in the wee hours of the morning when less people are on. I guess I should have put CL in the title of that older thread. I wonder if these will get merged. :lol:
