So, decided to get on today and check to see how the forums are doing, and low and behold they were spammed to death today. I have engaged the Fire Troopers and flamed out all of the crappy spam people. Good to see that the forums aren't getting spammed to bad though.

They're back again, including one that was cleverly disguised as a SW discussion (https://www.swagonline.net/index.php/forums/community-discussion/star-wars-sci-fi-epic-transcends-galaxies). Why is this site such a big target for spam? I remember Lucasforums (before they shut down) having the same spam issue for years, and I had to keep reporting them. Wish there was a report button for these things. Unfortunately, such a button could be an easy target for abuse, so it's probably better just to post a message about it.

 

EDIT: I've noticed that this website keeps going offline with "Connection timeout" errors. Does that have anything to do with the spammers flooding your site?
