bigfish1965 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 We had to disable the Mass PM feature. Most of you probably didn't use it anyway, but PM's have to be done one at a time now. We apologise for the inconvenience but the new spamming software being used is slightly ahead of the software to combat it. We hope this makes it more difficult for the spammers and makes us too much trouble and they will move on. All the admins have been very busy blocking and deleting accounts, but they kept coming right back...so we kinda had to play hardball. We have taken other measures..some a bit more drastic than we wanted to, but the software we are up against is far more complicated than anything I have run into before. Its all over the internet the last few weeks. Should we find a way to combat it more effectively we can turn the Mass PM feature back on. The next generation software for the site will have more effective controls from what I have read, so until then we will keep doing what we can. Should you get any new spam PM's please let me know. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience and hopefully these dude's give up soon. Oh yeah, if you go on vacation to either Senegal, South Africa or the Ivory Coast, you won't be able to access the site...lol.

bigfish1965 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks Rick you're doing a GREAT job. Bob Total team effort, Billy Bob. Roy has been doing the bulk of the work. However, Marty has done nothing...but he's just eye candy anyway...lol.
misfish Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Good job guys. However, Marty has done nothing...but he's just eye candy anyway...lol. Thats just wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,The eye candy part. Well maybe not,he may be a big cotton candy kinda guy. HAHAHA
Rich Clemens Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 No apologies needed Rick. We all know you're doing the best you can. I get the same crap here at work, even though we have a lot of filtering on our networks already. The crap still keeps coming in.
Spiel Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 However, Marty has done nothing...but he's just eye candy anyway...lol. And here I always thought of him more as an eye sore.
Billy Bob Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Can you image if these spammers put a honest effort into something... But we know that's not going to happen.......
Greencoachdog Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 However, Marty has done nothing...but he's just eye candy anyway...lol. I always thought Spiel was the pretty one!
danbouck Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 ok ok enough. We all know T.J. is the pretty one!
bigfish1965 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 ok ok enough. We all know T.J. is the pretty one! I can't decide between Chris and Dan, myself.
Roy Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I can't decide between Chris and Dan, myself. I've never really thought of Chris or Dan in those terms, Rick. You shouldn't really just be looking at physical appearance if looking to marry one of them though.
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 those PM's were as close to a date as some members of this page have gotten!

Roy Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Shhhhh I think I hear banjo's ......... Art Step outside anywhere in Virginia and you'll hear banjos.

solopaddler Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I've never really thought of Chris or Dan in those terms, Rick. You shouldn't really just be looking at physical appearance if looking to marry one of them though. Exactly. It's more a case of fine custom built rods vs. big brookies. Sorry Chris you lose! those PM's were as close to a date as some members of this page have gotten!
bigfish1965 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 those PM's were as close to a date as some members of this page have gotten! that was mean....true, but mean..sigh.
Spiel Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 I can't decide between Chris and Dan, myself. Awe shucks. *drags toe through the sand* Shhhhh I think I hear banjo's ......... Art Like Roy said. Exactly. It's more a case of fine custom built rods vs. big brookies. Sorry Chris you lose! Awe shucks, again.

ChrisK Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Now my feelings are hurt All this time I thought I was the pretty one ??
Daplumma Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 And here I always thought of him more as an eye sore. I'm with Chris on this one.
Greencoachdog Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I'm with Chris on this one. Try not to "suck-up" so much... it detracts from your "goat rider" image!
