As some of you may have noticed, spammers targeted this forum last night and made over 1000 spam posts. I have removed them all, but unfortunately the trivia contest post was lost in the process - I have a backup on my computer and am in the process of restoring it.
In the meantime I have taken a few precautions/measures to insure that this will not happen again. I have turned off all guest posting (which will most likely be permanent), and I have enabled account activation for all new members - people can register, but they must wait until I activate their account manually before they are able to post (not sure if this will be permanent or not).
If anyone has any alternate suggestions that I may not have considered please let me know - I am very open to any ideas at this point to make the forum a safer environment for all of us, thanks!

I wasn't able to confirm it, but I have a strong hunch that the people who attacked the forum are the same people who were spamming the guestbook (some of the website URL's were the same or similar). I redirected the guestbook traffic to the index page, so looks like they came here next - this website must be a very good target, or a very easy one...probably the latter. I'll keep you all posted on any progress I make in terms of forum security.
