who are they? we do not have that many members in all the clubs in CO combined. I can not believe that half the TRA members are interested in what we are doing here? Seems like we are growing by 10 or more a day. No problem with it just hope they all have go intentions, to learn and contribute to the hobby.

Bruce Shaefer pointed this out weeks ago – it is an automated spammer that we cannot keep from creating accounts but that we have prevented from actually spamming the forums with the extra security question at login.

Yes, the spammers are out in full force these days. I get about 4 spams a day to equipment manager @ ncrocketry or volunteer @ ncrocketry. The world seems to think our club needs purple little pills and so forth.

Think Monty Python – SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM. However, I have noticed that the occasional Forum post comes up missing in the past week or so – maybe we’ve been infiltrated by conspiracy theorists looking to subvert Wordsmithing.

Joe, you have clearly mis-read this. They are trying to say our towers and launch pads are too short.

Actually, from a safe distance, the towers and rails do look kind of small.

Hey, do they seem to be a pretty good deal?
Maybe we could get a group discount. 😉

I was thinking the same thing! I can’t get that song out of my head everytime I think about this post…

So, we are over 1700 now and some of the new members have names like “haveabiggerdick.com”. Can you make it were all new members need to be aproved manualy? I am not a computer guy but maybe if there is one out there with an idea, let us or Warren and Jerimiah know.

James, I’m not computer guy either, but my e-mail address on this site is an alternative one, and I haven’t received spam… or any e-mail on that one. So far, we’re safe. 😉
