....annnnd we're back up.  Over 1500 spam accounts nuked from High Earth Orbit.      Will continue to tweak things to prevent them from registering.

Let me know if you see anything funky going on in the forums, but all should be well.

Thanks Dan.  However, I see that "EDowney" is still with us.   

Edit:  I see their "signature" is inert.  So they are ok, I guess.

Yeah.. They were still around after the orbital nuke, but after reviewing the account details (they were using database wildcard characters in their signature), it was highly suspicious, so we called in a drone strike.    They are no longer available to be here.   

edit:  Have you ever seen a DHC-2 Beaver with AGM-114 Hellfires mounted under the wings? That shit is just scary! ... (and effective)

Hellfires on a beaver!!!

Thanks very much, Dan!! Great Job!

Have not seen Hellfires on a Beaver, but on a helicopter Bell 407GT....
