				| 
 |  
				| Has anyone begun to notice the occurrence or increase in volume of spam since the VO-BB was hacked?  It's one of about three places on the web where my email address exists and this morning I was greeted with amazing offers of increased size and endurance (first spam I've seen since I created this account about 6 months ago.) 
 Just wondering..
 
 Glad to see us back up and going.
 
 Thank you and great job to all involved!

				| Yeah, Bailey says his spam receipts are through the roof. 
 I haven't noticed it, myself, but so what.
 I'm dreadfully sorry that our security was breached.
 
 working on security updates tonight.

				| Noticed  quite an increase in spam, myself.  It's slacking off.  But I gotta say I'm diggin' the extra endurance and increased size.   Got 'em lining up from four neighborhoods over. _________________

 Me too.  I just thought it was from someone who had been talking to my wife.

				| Hi Deidre, 
 I was bummed to hear the board had been hacked but glad to see you've got it fixed now.
   
 What a frustrating world this www can be at time (albiet wonderful as well).
 
 Re the post about the increased spam - I haven't noticed it but I use a spam filtering company which I have used for a few years now and absolutely LOVE it. What amazes me is the emails I get from 'people' who actually send me an email from myself! I don't think I'll ever understand how they do all this stuff (and I don't even plan on trying to - too much information
  ) 
 Anyway - have fun and good to see all is well again.
 Cheers,
 Deb

				| Nope me either.  I'm a vegetarian as well (well OK - I do eat fish  :oops: ) so maybe there is a meat-spam connection here somewhere. 
 We may look unwell and do strange things with kidney beans and lentils, but our Inboxes have a healthy glow that carnivores can only dream of having.

				| No mystery meat here either...I'm using my hotmail addy, and granted they have a spam filter, but the junk box isn't swelling, so I guess I was spared. 
 I prefer Treet anyway.
