    Got this pm from WPS

    Hey!

    I saw you on the WebHostingTalks Forum! I am a freelance website promoter specializing in search engine optimization and submission, and would love to help you promote your site. Unlike most companies I don't charge thousands of dollars, but rather $59. If interested, or you have any questions, please PM me back.

    By the way, your site is very well designed!

    It would've been more believable if my site was actually very well designed

    Man, really nice site. I don't know what you used to compress those blank images and non existant html but the site loads really fast for me.

    Now that's scary!

    No what I mean is that it allows the spammer to send to any vbulletin forum a message from his site!

    That's why I said I heard - not really sure if it's true or not... but think of it - how horrible it might be!

    The spammer in question was banned indefinitely, his URL censored and his IPs blocked, no second chance. Just a heads up for anyone else considering this.
