It's amazing how heartless and insensitive some people can be. 

Sorry it was just a joke

Speaking of which, Brian should try a squeezeback design.

I think he did

Today is the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's passing.  However, his legacy will forever live on, as the greatest entertainer of all time!  RIP MJ.

Meh.. I was more upset when Billy Mays died!

Hahaha!

Hahaha...At the 9:20 AM EDT WOYW, Steph showed a picture from DopplerTom, and said something like: "DopplerTom  probably watches the most Weather Channel than anyone else." (Something along those lines.)
And Mike said: "Either him or MartinMMC"

Hehehe!

TWC Today News / LAT48s- 4 Year Anniversary Edition

« on: June 24, 2011, 10:36:28 PM »

Tomorrow marks the 4th year that the TWC Today forum has been operational. In celebration we will be hosting a Local Across the 48s at 7:57 PM ET. Members across the country will take video clips of their local forecast at the same time and post them here. It is always fascinating to compare forecasts and conditions.

THANK YOU to the hard working staff members, music/content producers, and the wonderful assortment of members who continue to make this forum a great place to post.

I have deleted the Chinese/Japanese member.  You couldn't delete him by normal means as his username messed up the characters of the URL to his profile.  Every member gets a number upon registration just like when you "take a number" to get an order, so I used that method to delete it.  Martin, I've been trying to delete members, ban IP ranges, and delete posts when I can for months now!  I really would like the help as I can't spot and delete everything 24/7 as you've all noticed.

Patrick has been doing an amazing job! Hopefully the extension I updated will help out as well. I didn't even think about the Chinese characters and the url. *"D'oh!*

Thanks to the administrators for working to keep this forum as spam-free as possible! 

Just imagine my disappointment, though, when I saw so many new posts... just to realize that they were all worthless. 

Something in particular about this latest round is interesting. The accounts were deleted making it really hard for me to remove the posts. Rather than just remove the account and all the posts at once I have to remove each individually. Please report anything I missed. Thanks guys

There are always spammers on every forum, there should be some kind of filter that could block them from accessing the forums.

There are actually and we try to implement and keep it updated. There are extensions and mods that keep track of the IP addresses of spammers. It helps but obviously doesn't keep them all out

It seems that SMF forums are once again being targeted. While all forums are suspects for spam there seems to be an increase in activity that is suspect for SMF forums. I have updated an extension to try and prevent spammers. Tougher restrictions on registration including admin approval made be needed. I am reluctant to pursue such methods because it usually is a turn off for new members. If this increased spamming occurs I will implement it. Please continue to report spammers. Note that simply reporting each individual username is sufficient rather than each post. The admin team can remove all posts made by a member. Thank you for your patience
