OK this is going to sound weird but bear with me for a second.

I just made 3 posts in about the span of 10 minutes. Which seems to have somehow caused Sluggy related spam to be sent to an e-mail address that is NOT linked to my sluggy.net account.

And I'm kind of scratching my head going WTF.

I mean, I know that there are a lot of "silent" spammers lurking the forums, but this would almost seem to require human silent spammers. I just thought they were bots.

When I say sluggy related spam I mean spam for a dating website "led" by "Oasis."

Unfortunately, I do not have a time stamp for the spam message as I kind of deleted it forever? Although I've heard that nothing is ever deleted forever. I dunno.

:riff:

Just as well. Wouldn't want some crazy girl stabbing your ice cream to death.

How could anyone get your email address if it's NOT connected to your sluggy account from these forums?

I don't know. I thought maybe it had something to do with LJ since my LJ and S.Net account are linked, but they both use the same e-mail address. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

I did a little search, and there are a lot of dating sites with 'oasis' in the name.
