Mr. K

Thanks indeed!

And personally, your site's never been down for me.

PS. my younger brother loves your site and has printed out most of it on paper for reference. =P

It seems to have a lot of spam. I clicked on a link and it took me to what looked like a porn site. I'll never click on a link in old forums again.

Mr. K

It's a pretty obvious thing.

In the years since it passed on, it's still been running the same old forum software which is now ridiculously outdated.  Although back then it was really effective against preventing spam, its measures have long since been circumvented by newer spambots which can now easily get through and spam.

The manufacturers of the food that goes by the same name.

DrLemmingsham

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think they named spam (The junk kind) after that Monty Python spam skit. (Because of all the unwanted spam ["Well, we have spam, spam and eggs, spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans and spam" etc])

Chmera

I've heard internet-spam defined as '(Stuff) Posing As Mail' and the meat-spam defined as '(Stuff) Posing As Meat'. So yeah, that's my explanation...

The silence here is starting to become depressing.  It seems we've lost the whole level making crowd somehow. :(

Maybe it's because of the holiday season ?

Mr. K

I dunno about that.  I, personally, haven't left my house that much.

But yeah, it's getting ridiculous.  Maybe the Lemmings community is starting to dry up completely.  Is the site looking a bit dated?  Do we need a redesign?  Do we need something gimmicky to give people a reason to be here?  Anything?

Something must be done...
