Just wanted to let everyone know that we have gotten our first wave of spammers on the forum page. Several illicit materials were posted from “supporters” of the foundry in the Ukraine. The good news is that Mandy wiped their privileges and their posts, so we can get back down to foundry fun.

We are sorry for the lax security. We have been trying to find the balance between the ease of registration and keeping the spammers at bay… in the meantime we have added an extra layer of defense to combat the would-be spammers, but if for some reason they get through and we miss it, please let us know. Thanks!
