Looks like a Spambomb hit RWOL Again (Read 196 times)

Love the Half


    Stopped by there around 6:30 Saturday morning and the first four pages are spam.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to get it fixed on a weekend.  So much for their new software guarding against that kind of stuff.

    Short term goal: 17:59 5K

    Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

    Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

      Looks like it's gone?   It's currently 7:25 AM.  I logged in a few minutes ago and didn't see spam at all.  There's a definite improvement in RW's reaction time since the last spam attacks.

        Wow.  They have gotten better.  It used to be that if it popped up on a weekend, it would be up until Monday.

            +1, but what is RWOL? Wink

              Not surprising.  We are having some of the same problems as before: some forumites cannot log anymore and their miles have to be posted by others, some of my posts are gone after they have been posted and some others are having the same problems.  At least their response time is better.

                Oh god... Now Brad is like the old woman of the village who spreads all the dirty secrets of next door. Big grin Next thing we know, will he be telling us too that kittenkat is back in L&O City? Because both pieces of info rank on the same level for me. Big grin

                  This is the worst news ever!!

                    Isn't this why everyone moved over here to begin with? Do a lot of people still go both places?

                        I should add that I'm there on occasion as well, and LTH, like ALL THE TIMEAngry wcrunner, too. And a bunch of others. What the place needs is more avatars with pictures. I don't know who is who with the generic avatars and that gives the place less character...

                          I reported a couple of things yesterday. But couldn't find a way to report a user, only individual posts. Mike, do you know how to do it?

                            I wander over now and again. Got a bit of a shock to see the spam there, brought back bad memories. Joking

                               Angry wcrunner, too.

                              Can I blame that on some Corredores team members who didn't move over and Jennifer Van Allan, a friend on the RW staff who moderates RW's new forum, The Starting Line, where I try to be helpful to the real newbies just starting out with C25K programs?
