I Do Believe We've Been Invaded
It seems there is an attack of bots.

Ah, I remember these feoul creatures. They would come in my youth, and raid our forum where the defenses were weak...
ETA: holy cow, they made over a page of spam threads on N&N and Mirth? That's prolific. That's bot talent...

Thankfully it looks like the mighty Mithadan and fellow admins prevailed, and the forum has been scoured of this spam-filth. All hail the great defenders of the Downs!

Much credit belongs to Estelyn and others, who did most of the pruning. Thanks to all.

I would rep you for your speedy and heroic efforts, Mithadan, but I am told that I have to spread the rep around to others before I can do so.
I was able to rep Estelyn and mormegil.

It's nice to be a part of a legacy Middle Earth forum that hasn't been abandoned to the AI spambots Well done killing them off.
