Board Down Again
Yep, down again. I have just received reports that before it went down, people were getting a message from a random person titled 'Rules'. I suspect it was a spammer, as last time, and this time they flooded the board with so many automated PM attempts that it ground it to a halt.

Don't click any links in that message titled 'Rules', just delete it.

I got that one alright, but I haven't seen it yet. That was when the board went down for me.

We should install some PM spam limit if possible? Like no more than 50 PMs every 24 hrs?

Actually, I'll have to accept fault for this crash if it turns out to be this spammer who brought it down, since Invision _did_ put out a spam flood patch recently and I was just rather blaise about it.

We'll get it put in soon as we can once the board is back up.

So it wasn't Peter Dinklage?

My bad... I shouldn't blame people until I know the whole story.... well, except for Pod.

Thanks for the heads up. I can confirm I received a similar message, although the board was down by the time I had the opportunity to read it.
