    It's possible. We're a target for a lot of attacks given our affiliation with HostGator (1.8 million websites means even a 1% rate of unhappy users is a 18K people out to get us).

    If any posts come up, we'll take care of them.

    Very true! Just thought you might want to know as it seemed very suspect.

    member pages are a popular way to spam. At the height on a forum I admin for we had about 15 a day coming in. Larger forums get many more. Mainly Bots designed for that purpose. All you can do is delete them as they appear and hope for a forum upgrade that closes any holes they use...
