When I logged in this morning a little after 9am, EDT, there were 111 "Guests" on-line, and the response time navigating the site was sluggish to say the least.

Some of the names registered to our most recent "members" are: viagra-4, xanax837, casino-sgkldrhgj, viagra-42, levitra-viagra87x, and poker-87.

Are we still under siege here?

I wouldn't exactly call it a siege but rather an all out invasion seems more appropriate.

It may be time for the forum admin people to track down the the responsible script writer and prosecute them under spam laws.

Hmm, does this qualify a denial-of-service attack? Or is the intention simply to raise the cost to Johnny of maintaining a website. I assume that Johnny's cost for the website is based on the number of users.

Regards,
Bill

I definitely noticed a "sluggishness" at a little after 5:00 MDT this morning. Didn't know if it was my Internet connection/provider, my computer or this site.

Thanks for the info.
