Sorry about the forum spammer that posted a lot of junk last night. I usually can catch them and ban them before they post anything, but this one created an account and posted it while I was sleeping.

This is the spammer's information for people looking looking up the email and IP in Google:
Email Address : [email][email protected][/email]
IP Address: 124.217.89.121

It looks like a spammer is hitting this site every day with posts about an online store selling shoes.

It looks like they've hit over 1000 sites:

In order to stop the daily spam, I've enabled new user moderation, so new users won't be able to post until I manually approve accounts. Sorry if this is an inconvenience to new users...

(Latest IP address: 125.78.240.252 -- the spam seems to be coming from Beijing.)
