Some of you may have seen a PM about Budda. I am sorry about that. It was a spammer account. I was watching the users as I wasn't sure if she/it was a real member. Once I found out it was a spammer I deleted all the account's sent PM's.
It said something like
" Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?
"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

Going forward. I have turned off the ability for users waiting to confirm their email address from being able to send PMs. I have also upgraded the site's software to a better spam fighting version. I also made the site's question while you are signing up a bit harder. So for now we should have the spammers at bay.
While I was messing around I upped the PM box from 50 to 500. This should help those who PM a lot. Since I upgraded the software I am going to need to make some changes to the navigation bar. Currently it has nice pretty buttons but they aren't so easy to see/use. I will be going back with normal vBulletin nav bar that makes upgrades a lot easier.
