It is because the forum was opened to new members. I am doing my best to clean it up, but it is nearly impossible, as soon as somebody is banned they come back with a new ID. It needs Devine9 to close the forum again but I can't contact him. If anybody seems him anywhere please tell him what is happening here.
Later : OK, I've finished going through it all for the third time and I think I have cleared up most of the junk and banned users who got through the "Moderate First Post" measure. There will still be some spam posted by those users that I cannot easily locate, but I think I got most of it. I'll continue to clear up during each day as much as I can. Hackers who get through will continue to cause problems until we close the conference again or, hopefully, make it invite only.
Appologies, and please be patient.
