    Sorry but those spam threads are still up – previous offensive threads have been deleted pretty quickly. It doesn’t do the image of the forum any good. Surely they can be deleted.

    This place has always been to the highest order but is fast slipping if the spammers continue to stay. It is impressive looking but why fix it if it aint broke?

    I presume Cormack15 is not at home today – probably some family time after spending the last few days on the upgrade – I’m sure it will be sorted out once he gets home.

    I would say you have hit the nail on the head.

    I’m sure Corm will sort this out.

    Strange how they get to post in the first place. Surely they have to register and some of their usernames are a dead giveaway!

    Bad, bad, bad idea.

    When I joined TRF, I had to pay fifty grand in used notes to a character called Maltese Tony in a multi-storey near Staines. I was also requested to give hair, blood and semen samples.

    I would now struggle with the former and the latter. Nevertheless, this should be the minimum requirement.

    Really sorry about the spam. I’m afraid that due to a family illness I’ve been away all day today but I’m back on the case. Needless to say the offending threads and offensive personnel will be removed.

    No problem, I thought it must be temporary. Hope everything’s okay

    This forum really needs to be shut down until it is Spam and Porno resistant.

    (Personally I would get rid of the drink ads, change the colour from red to green and narrow the page so we can still view our Favourites)

    It looks to me like admin has been hijacked.

    Either that or Cormack has lost the plot.

    Look again closely. There is an "admin", who is Corm, and an "admin." (i.e. with a dot), who is a naughty person. I presume the former is currently dealing with the latter as necessary now.
