It's advertising....mainly....sometimes it's more aggressive than that, but mainly it's just sent out en masse to hit some targets....I know that the techs here are on it. These current spammers are just really aggressive.

I guess the fact that I don't know who the Korean Spammer is is testament to the quality of your techs. Well done!

I don't spend time worrying about stuff I have no control over. It's a skill I am proud to have honed over the years. But I often think of how I would feel if SR suddenly went away. Some corporate giant comes along and deems it worthless. I would be absolutely crushed by this.

So I retreat back into my quiet zone. No worries over things I cannot control.

Thanks for your understanding & patience guys

We want SR to always be a welcoming place people want to come to for help and support, so we'll continue to do all we can to make sure we can keep the site spam free.
