Has Subsim had a hacker recently? This user name: klmn155 is poping up everywhere but there is no user by that name in the Captains Roster and when you click on the last poster link, you are directed to a different current user.

:hmm:

Thanks, Danlisa, I think that's what it is, a spambot we have deleted but his name still shows up in the thread titles. I can reset the counters to clear them but we have been getting a lot of human spammers signing up here and then turning the registered account to spambots. We delete them as quickly as we can.

thx
Neal
