@craig — good to hear you got things sorted. And to reiterate, if you ever need contributions for the site you really only have to ask…
5 January 2016 at 09:24 #500035 January 2016 at 17:31 #50007@craig Thanks! So glad we’re back on track again. We all share in the joy, I think. Happy New Year!
7 February 2016 at 13:30 #50886News seems to have hit its limit…
7 February 2016 at 15:05 #50891There should hopefully be a new news page up and running as the last one had reached the end of its tether….
1 March 2016 at 10:11 #51129@craig or @jimthefish or @phaseshift
I seem to have a new little friend (robbins) who is very interested in my profile and wants to share pictures with me.
Sadly, I suspect that they may be two-timing me with other members of this forum. 🙁
1 March 2016 at 10:12 #51130Anonymous @@craig someone new called @robbins PMed me and possibly others? asking that I contact them on their private email as they ‘liked my profile.’
I think I’ve been spammed? 🙂
1 March 2016 at 10:13 #51131Anonymous @hey @bluesqueakpip you beat me to it -or your friend liked you more than me 🙁

Dealt with – thanks for the alert.
1 March 2016 at 10:43 #51133@craig, @bluesqueakpip, @puroandson…
>sigh< and I really thought I’d found ‘the one’ this time….
1 March 2016 at 12:14 #51135I received the same message. Sadly, not “the one” after all.
2 March 2016 at 00:02 #51141@everyone I don’t even have much of a profile so I wondered why anyone would be that interested. Sadly I was just one of many.
2 March 2016 at 00:16 #51143@ everyone also. Just thought I’d drop you a line to explain my absence. I’m still kinda here but haven’t had much time recently to do much on the site. Was in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago, Pittsburgh last week and am back to Pennsylvania, this time Philadelphia, on Saturday. Thankfully my world should calm down after that and we can get back to our retrospectives, and rewatches of BG Who. The only good thing about all this is I’m now a British Airways Gold member so get to use the lounge and sometimes get upgraded. But can’t wait for the end of next week and to be back with all of you.
2 March 2016 at 00:58 #51145Anonymous @gosh! you have the jet-setting life. From to Pitts to Philly and in lounges ‘n’ all 🙂
It will be good to have some retrospectives and to have you back with us all. You’ve been missed.
Safe travels home.
@winston @bluesqueakpip @nerys I know! And she said she liked my profile. And she also wanted to send me some piccies? Did you get that, huh?
No, I kid. Just in case the naughty robbinsss is listening.
We don’t do PMs to people we don’t know Robbins! This is a Who Forum only. No piccies.
Kindest to all.

2 March 2016 at 01:06 #51146@puroandson Yeah, sounds great, doesn’t it? Sometimes the quiet life is much more appealing. Be back properly soon.
Biggest kindest to you.
2 March 2016 at 23:58 #511553 March 2016 at 02:37 #51159@winston I quite seriously thought you said “happy trolls”. And that “you have been busy” was somehow referring to yesterday’s spammer. And it all made sense somehow, for about 10 seconds. 🙂
3 March 2016 at 03:23 #511628 March 2016 at 23:36 #51234@craig @jimthefish or any passing mod – we seem to need a new sofa (and a new spoiler room).

Didn’t know how to make links live though….
29 March 2016 at 21:31 #5153430 March 2016 at 10:09 #51541Phew, thank you. I didn’t know what to do, so just ignored the message.
Cheers,

20 April 2016 at 20:06 #51749@jilso11 known also as Valeria wants to be my friend. I bet she wants to be your friend either. Oh wait, it’s adanna again.
20 April 2016 at 20:21 #51750Thanks @mersey have spammed them. I got the same. As usual, to everyone else, do not reply to the lovely lady in the United Nations Army. Is she in UNIT? More likely some prince who also has $1 billion he needs to deposit in your bank account.
20 April 2016 at 20:52 #51751Anonymous @Ah, too bad I didn’t read this first, as it would have saved me some time, but I guessed it was spam, particularly after I clicked on the profile link and discovered there was none! ^^ But thanks for the heads up. 🙂 I shall keep that in mind.
20 April 2016 at 21:54 #51752@stitchintime Unfortunately this happens sometimes. It’s not a bot, a real person signs up and then sends these messages out. The only way to stop it would be to turn off the messaging function but the consensus seems to be that it’s a nice function to have, even if spammers sometimes abuse it. Always comment here or email me if you receive something dodgy and I will spam them immediately.
In the past I’ve found out that the same spammers have been posting the same things on forums for Doctors. Think they may have us confused with lonely, rich men who work in hospitals.
20 April 2016 at 23:01 #51753Ah, I should have known. Another one bites the dust, LOL!
21 April 2016 at 04:47 #51757Thank you Craig.
Cheers,
Missy
21 April 2016 at 04:49 #51758Anonymous @Think they may have us confused and lonely, rich men who work in hospitals.
Yes, very confused indeed!
Thanks for the information.
I suppose then that you must be the, “terminator,” around here. 😉
22 April 2016 at 19:10 #51784Miss Tina aka loveuu has sent me (and presumably a bunch of other people here) a message that I suspect none of us wanted in the first place.
What’s bringing them out of the woodwork? The spring weather? The imminent announcement of a new Companion? A desperate attempt to trawl for the odd sucker, who really wants to donate their life savings to allow a Nigerian prince the opportunity to retrieve his inheritance and share it?
23 April 2016 at 00:11 #51787Anonymous @I am an Army…
Fair play. Never dated a whole army before, I’m going for it, wish me luck.
23 April 2016 at 00:20 #51788Ah, ha! I must be the favorite. Miss Tina/loveuu left me a massage. Apparently @blenkinsopthebrave only got a message.
23 April 2016 at 00:35 #5178923 April 2016 at 01:13 #51790I should have known, LOL!
23 April 2016 at 08:31 #51801@blenkinsopthebrave @nerys Many thanks. Have spammed them, as usual.
23 April 2016 at 13:24 #51804Anonymous @I’m definitely not lonely, rich, nor do I work in a hospital. I actually just joined this forum quite recently and straight away got these two weird messages. I’m so glad I read your comments and it’s not a commonplace thing.
If they were messages from someone honest and interesting and discussing the Doctor I wouldn’t have minded!
24 April 2016 at 05:03 #51840@conchobarre
None of us would. Don’t some people give you the pip?
Cheers,
Missy
25 April 2016 at 19:34 #51895This time the unwanted message (not even a typographical error with the promise of a massage this time) comes from aurora. I assume I wasn’t the only one.
You would think that a little bit of background research on this site would lead them to conclude that we are not their prime target audience.
25 April 2016 at 21:10 #51896@blenkinsopthebrave and @craig
Persistent little soul, isn’t she/he?
26 April 2016 at 00:26 #51907Yup, I too have received another message. (Drat, the massage was so promising!)
26 April 2016 at 01:36 #51909Spammed again, from my phone at 2:30am from Barcelona. Oh how I dislike this. Let’s hope it stops now.
26 April 2016 at 02:27 #51910Thanks @craig.
p.s. You’re in Barcelona and you’re complaining?
26 April 2016 at 09:45 #51914@craig I turned on silent mode on my phone between 0:00 and 6:00am partly because I got notifications from the site that someone (from different time zone) had mentioned me. No complaints. I love it. But I love to sleep too. It works.

“You would think that a little bit of background research on this site would lead them to conclude that we are not their prime target audience.”Perhaps it is just the computer that is lonely. 😉 Maybe somebody should toss a few programs and some data at it and see if that will shut it up. Or, we could take inspiration for ST DS9 and build a doghouse.
But these names, they are so uninspiring and un-orignial. I could just see them being computer generated.
28 April 2016 at 19:16 #51950And again… Oh joy.
28 April 2016 at 19:41 #51953Thanks @pedant Spammed again. @blenkinsopthebrave Loved Barcelona, hate these Romance Scams.
@mersey Thanks for the advice but I was actually just going to bed. Had free tickets to teh hotel’s club so it would have been a shame not to use them. 🙂
@stitchintime They are real people unfortunately. If they were computer bots there would be a way to stop them.
Everyone should heed the advice here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/fraud-az-romance-scams
28 April 2016 at 19:45 #51955Damn! I inadvertently posted my website comment to you, @craig, over on the Fox Inn.
28 April 2016 at 19:49 #51957I’ve asked this before and most were not in favour in the past, but as we’ve had a rash of Romance Scam messages in the last couple of weeks, what do people think about closing the Private Message option for a while.
Please let me know here.
28 April 2016 at 20:21 #51958It would certainly save you from having to constantly come in and spam the spammers, so yes, I am in favour.
28 April 2016 at 20:53 #51959I get messages only from these freak bot people so I’m in favour too. It’s so disappointing when I get a notification from the site and it turns out to be one of those messages.
