Mass Banning + News

Alright, as some of you may have heard from the last post that Z-Man and I made, many users have actually been spam bots that have been signing up on our forums. Unfortunately, we found, those spam bots were actually joining our forums to harvest e-mail addresses and such from our members. To all of you, we apologize sincerely.
Both Z-Man and I have been hit hard by the spamming and both of us have been forced to switch e-mail addresses because of it. I really hope that all of you haven't had any spam trouble, and if you've been noticing an increased load it may have been from this forum. Again, a thousand apologies.
As of today, we have mass banned all accounts suspected of spamming, and new members are no longer allowed to join. Sorry, but that's the way it's gotta be. Hopefully that will stop new spammers from harvesting addresses.
With our pending site redesign, this forum will likely go offline entirely, and instead of contacting us through the forum, we'll set up a system so that you can contact us directly through the site. If we get another forum in the future, it will likely be through a service other than Sudden Launch to ensure that we don't get automated spammers and such. But that's a debate for another time.
Like I've said before, the most reliable way to contact us is through deviantArt, and if you don't have an account then you can sign up easily for free. That's all I can offer at this point though. Sorry, about everything.
