If you receive a PM from a user named proflilicus do not open the link it sends you.

It appears that this spambot has found a way through and cannot be banned because it does not have an account.

We are working on alleviating this situation ASAP.

May I ask how the PMs are sent in the first place if the user doesn't even have an account? I thought you needed to be a registered user in order to send PMs.

I haven't received any weird PMs, but thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to notify you if I get a suspicious PM.

Our ever-vigilant mods hard at work. :) Thanks, CB! It'll get deleted as soon as I see it.

Sounds like someone hacked the board software.
