Seriously, how exactly do these urls/pics/threads get blasted all over Creation, Doug?

I posted urls/pics in this thread and replied a few times here ONLY. :confused: I didn't post this thread all over Al Gore's interweb.

Funny, I get emails for "Debra" from Huffines Toyota with coupon's to get her oil changed and tires rotated. I get other emails for my college reunion at Rutgers University. I've never even BEEN to New Jersey!!! :hammer::D

I suppose this is spyware and/or a combination of some 'bots that crawl all over the 'net spreading this junk?

As we know, this is the 2nd time this has happened.

Evidently the costs have gone up for membership because I can't see the "Member's" forum now. :(

But, who started this thread and has 2 of these thread-view explosions under their belt? :evil

I was unaware that Belgium was such a popular surfing-enthusiast destination for the cosmopolitan-monied elite. :D Hang-ten, Dude!:burnout:

Welcome to TALON Rohan and you Belgians make some GOOD waffles! :bows:d

couldn't this thread have been deleted early-on before it became a problem?

It could have been deleted or the server could be set up to prevent remote linkiing or it could have been moved to the Members only forum but I decided to leave it to see how bad it got - We had a million hits yesterday - and some of our guests actually clicked the Google banner ads so we had a decent day from the Google side - may have actually been enough to cover the bandwidth:tu: ... i was more worried it was going to explode - in the sense of bringing dwon the server - or the traffic was going to continue to grow - as it turns out the server is fine .. and the traffic is tapering to a reasonable level
