Sorry for the SPAM email!

Posted July 6, 2008

Hey Everyone,

I would like to express a huge apologie for the SPAM email that was sent out. An admin module that sends announcements to all the members was hacked and used to solicit the email. I have since disabled and removed the module and will be working to resolve the hole that allowed someone to exploit the module.

Again, I’m really sorry for the email that you all received.

Kind Regards,
Andrew
