Hi guys.. some of you may know me from LS2GTO... but wanted to stop in and say hi...

Anyone else noticed that withing 24-48 hours of signing up on this board, your spam almost increased by 75% - I have never had a board that sold or gave away my info... so I am a little shocked that my email was on a list that quick...

Anyways... I started making G8/HSV items... so after we see if there is any interest.. I will apply for sponsorship....

Did you share your email address to other websites at the same time? We do not share user email addresses outside of where to forward 'personal message' and 'subscribed threads' of the board's notifications to.

I have never received any spam or junk email that could be traced back to this site. Almost all of my spam comes from CLASSMATES. I hate them. Not my classmates, but the website.

I never noticed any spam when I first joined. However, that email account is now full of spam. (I haven't checked it in months.) Of course there's a whole lot of spam at my work email address too, and that's never been used on this board.

The email address I used for signup was never used for anything else but it is easy for a robot to guess.

Huh, there's a G8 friend request from January 2010. Oops. Didn't see it until now. Sorry.
