Why has it increased recently? Is it because there are more people visiting again?

Damn Did you PM the admin?? If not I can. I noticed it too. I think it is because the increased views on the site.

No i'm not that arsed, just wondered why the sudden influx. I kinda like reading it and some of the reactions from people on here. I just dont get the link between the beasties and car insurance/kitchens.

Well, Ad Rock was on that cooking show, right? Where he made the Peanutbutter banana nutella thing... And maybe car insurance cos Mike D wore the VW logo. Kindda like, need car insurance to replace your stolen hood ornament...

I know...I was pointing out potential links. I haven't been on a forum in years & this is, like, the first one where I've ever seen spam like this. Even on some fan run sites I've been on haven't had spam.

I hate to say it, but dollars to donuts it's because of MCA's death. Keywords like 'MCA', 'Yauch' and 'Beastie' were suddenly very popular search topics and the spambots are programmed to pick up on trends like that.

I think Minton or TPK turned off the filter. Before only valid non-web based e-mail addresses were allowed to create accounts. No hotmail, gmail, etc. I'm sure they turned filtering off so people could come and create accounts to leave messages.. I'm figuring..
