Anyways, I'm still trying to move us to the newest version of vBulletin ASAP.

Thanks!

I just got one from James Williams. Same trash about viruses and same shitty website to rid your computer of viruses. Hope he is banned soon.

this whole spam PM thing really grinds my gears!
how come that other boards don't have this problem?

I've been getting some as well. No big deal.

Been getting a little bit of the spam pm's as well the last couple of days ("JamesWilliams" and "RobertWilliams"). To me they are kind of a minor nuisance, though I haven't experienced this on other boards either.

Now I'm getting spam from Robert Williams. This is as cdm said "really grinds my gears". I am a member on several other forums and this is the only one that has this problem. C'mon surely there is something you can do about it Budd? If i knew how I would give ya that info, but I don't unfortunately. We all would really appreciate it. Thanks.
