We don't know but we have been deleting them for a couple of days now. It is some kind of spam and we aren't sure how it is happening.

Until we can fix it systematically, we will just have to keep deleting them.

Sorry about the mess.

Pain in the butt that's what it is! I hate spammers! If you look at the posts, there is usually some real link to click on or copy paste.. don't do it, it's garbage, but they are trying to get people to go to their site.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

I was off line while I was moving and my spam folder was full of these crazy things. I am happy to see the spam software is work of me. If I let it go for a few days I can have hundreds of e-mails with all the weird letters.

Please don't hit the links... who know where you'll end up or what you may see... LOL.

We are seeing what we can do to stop this.

We might have to set up the message boards so that all new registrations will have to be approved before posts go up. We are hoping the software will allow this.
