Just a heads up to anyone who might be wondering, it looks like there’s been a repeat spambot attack over at [Proptopia](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/fans/websites/proptopia). They’ll go in and download every page of every topic, knocking the bandwidth through the roof and knocking the board over. It seems to be the same sorta circumstances, but don’t IM AJ asking what’s happened; if it is a Spambot issue he should be able to get it back up and operating soon. Until then, just go about things as usual and be patient. ---

The creator of the googlebot should be bluggoned with a CTR Monitor. ---

The guys that create these little nasties to just to mess with people really boil my blood. I’d like to grab every malicious hacker out there and introduce them to the business end of a nutrona wand. Then drop a CTR monitor on them. Really, isn’t there already enough greif in the world? ---

CRT maybe the correct way to put it. Cathode Ray Tube monitors. Big and heavy. Pre-LCD. ---
