Possible spammer using the PM feature

[Oyster]

I recieved a pm today with an invite to visit what appears to be a porn or embedded issue into your computer site that was linked to it. I attempted to send a pm to Dan Miller but the message could not be sent stating that his pm box was full.

Ditto for me also

We're doing our best to keep this kind of stuff off the forums (and some of you on the other side may be surprised at how intensive these attempts to spam forums are...).

Just send me an email or PM ('ve cleaned out my PM Inbox, but I work better with email) with the pertininent info, and I will block the user.

Every thing is cool here. I understand that with most forums this is a never ending battle. What sent my alarm bell off when I saw this was that I have been on this forum for about four years and have not posted but I think one time. So for me to receive a pm out of the blue, I had to conclude that it was an issue of spam through the member list. After dinner I will send you a mail. Thanks again for the forum, even though I only read, since I cannot contribute anything of substance.

He wanted to say Hi (with a link at the bottom)

A good time to express appreciation to our webmasters who keep the site so well maintained and run.
