It appears that poolandspaforum.com has been taken over by spammers. Anyone having similar problems? Anyone know how to delete your account with them? I'm sticking with this forum-my water is crystal, despite FEET of rain this winter. And I never get spammed here.

Do you mean spammed via pm's or something?
When I have visited the site, I have noticed ALOT of topics advertising "male enhancements" and what not...LOL
Perhaps they need more mods (that have no life-like myself hahaha)

Their domain name registration expired several weeks ago. Since they haven't renewed it by now, I suspect they are not going to.

Did you maybe mean poolspaforum.com instead of poolandspaforum.com? The former had PM spam issues and some family-inappropriate ads, but they just did a whole refresh of the site and I haven't noticed anything nasty lately.

Yes, did mean poolspaforum.com and yes, they do look to have cleaned up some. Still, this forum has been good to me, never sent me anything I did not want, always good info, so going to stay here.

Well, hm, poolspaforum.com having more troubles apparently... I can't even get the home page. Quote: You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server. Anybody know what's going on, or is it just me? --paulr

I see the same thing. I have no idea what is happening. The home page problem could be a symptom of any of a variety of server or administrative problems.
