    Just deleted another porn spam post. I did not include the name on the above quoted, as was posted after the original spam because it's not necessary to do so.

    Myself, and every other moderator of this site I believe do the best job they can to get crap like that off of the site as close to immediately as possible, but fact is we don't work at insidetopalcohol.com and that being said, my boss at my real job never is too pleased when he sees racecars on the computer screen.

    Bottom line we all do the best job we can to keep this a happy and clean site. So to answer your question "What happened to the other moderators who were brought in to help police & monitor the site," we're right around the corner and we'll get it off as soon as we can.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    I think you all do the best you can.
    Thank You.
    I was the one who posted that. I just get a little aggravated here sometimes with things.
    Sorry if I offened anyone.

    No offense taken Bob.

    As Nathan stated, we try as hard as we can to get rid of the stuff. I probably need to have Will change my contact email addy as I moderate the board from work most of the time and cant check my Yahoo account at work so when a post is reported and if I dont see it on the board I dont know about it until I get home.

    I just wish the morons who post this crap would get a life or go to someone elses board and trash it :D

    I'm really glad that you guys are on this, I've email Frankie a couple of times and I know he's deleted some stuff too.

    Thanks for keeping it clean and focused. It's very appreciated.

    :) :)

    Message boards around the world are the targets of these losers. They are losers but their software is quite sophisticated. It is written specificly to spam all popular bulletin board software and it can get by the latest image verification upgrades. Click here to get an idea of what's going on. It's a link to the latest version of XRumer, a spambot.

    Will, I have a very extensive list of spam email domain names that these jokers frequently use. Email me at outlawnick@promodsource.com if you'd like a copy. I can also give you a few easy to use tips to cut down on spam registrations. There's a reason why spam no longer appears at The Source! :)

    Like Outlaw Nick said, it happens everywhere. I'm on a few boards as a regular that have nothing to do with racing and it happens way too much. Several times a day.

    These people really need to find something to do with their lives.

    This stuff isn't just on message boards. I came into work after Christmas and our server had been invaded and I had 125 of these messages in my inbox. I had only been off 2 days!!!!!! We get about 10 a day now
