It is being addressed. Our apologies. Bigweb is working on a solution to prevent it in the future as I type.

question verification? captcha just sucks, either too easy for ocr or too hard for people to read.

I modded our forums and app process to a q verfication, strip caps etc..

I think there isn't any solution for that... Because the spammers always find something to accomplish their mission :)

I get about 50 spams every time I check my email. I have absolutely no idea why.

Some random subjects of the spam I get:

Order status, night crawler
Order status, needle diatom
Your future, orange-hued
:), N-type star
OEM Software

It gets pretty rediculous. I guess it's good for laughs though. The "needle diatom" cracks me up.
