Yeah, why on earth these idiots think it's a good idea to kick over a forum as small as this one amazes me. Perhaps going back a few days and cancelling some memberships might be one way out of it, but as you say there's loads of rubbish kicking around this afternoon when I logged on. It's a shame, I can't imagine any business comes as a result of such actions.
All it does is just make me (and presumably a lot of other folks) mad. I don't know a way of easily stopping it though, apart from shotguns.....
