All better Dr. Mark!!  Thanks!

Thanks Mark, i think all you've done should work to avoid things like that in the future.

I received these too! But I didn't open them!
Thank you so much for getting rid of this!!

This is really unfair. I didn't get them so I can't join in with the indignation  On the whole, I'm glad I didn't see them. My young eyes couldn't put up with such a sight (Sharon described in detail what I missed  ) I'm going to get hit for this   
Lets hope you don't have to go through this again. DON'T MESS WITH THE SHACKERS

Well done guys, I got the messages from the ideot too, I only know about them as I get my Pms emailed to me. I was very pleased to see they have been wiped when I logged on.

Good work mods

I'm sure most people have done this anyway, but PMs are also sent to your email accounts and you'll need to delete the messages there.  I checked my email before coming here and the spam filter didn't catch the messages because they came from the Shack address that's in my address book.

My email notifications go to an email address of mine that is only used for the Yak Shack - I'm glad I checked it before hurtling off to look at my PM's on here ... *bleh*

Received here also.  Funny thing was, when I logged on it said "you have 0 messages - 2 new" and yet when I opened my inbox it said "0 messages - 0 are new".  Odd...

I had them delivered aswell but thankfully were wiped before I had chance to open them.
I like PMs but not these ones 
It is a shame our wonderful mods are now having to put even more hours in because of some perverted idiots.

Keep up the good works dudes.

Great job MArk, Roz and Jo

I doubt very much that this guy got any clickthroughs from us to his site (at least I hope not but each to their own ) - so I think it must all have been a very pointless exercise for them, anyway, Fortress Yak has built a virtual moat, so hopefully we won't be disturbed again, it's very unlikely, but if you do see anything suspcious or receive an odd PM, please don't hesitate to get in touch 

GeekBoy - sorry about that, I think when you logged in it had to reset to realise that the messages had been deleted in the server.

Basically to save space if a PM is sent to X number of people the server stores the message itself in one table, and then stores the names of the people it was sent to in another table. We basically deleted the member list and then the PM. We then had to reset the totals on the PM system, but maybe you have to log in for it to see that and settle it ... it's an odd little system
