Hello, loyal readers and community members.

Today's announcement isn't especially jolly, but it is necessary.

We are doing our best to prevent spambots and remove those who do get through, but it seems that the name of our community is still being dragged into the proverbial mud. I have been alerted that emails have been going out to some of the members, saying that they have a new message. And the content of the message turned out to be spam, or worse than that.

Please note that this is not spam that is generated by Hidden Realms - the spam, if you are getting any, is generated by automated scripts that register on our site, masquerading as real members, only then to send loads of spam to people.

If you are having this problem, or had it in the past, please read this link for information regarding Hidden Realms and this problem.

Click here if you are curious as to what a spambot is.

You should actually read it regardless, so you are aware of the situation in case anything else pops up. The situation is being taken care of as we speak and should be under control, but it would still be wise of you to be alert of the possibility that future incidents like this could happen.

Thank you.

Thank you for keeping us updated. I haven't personally had this problem but I'm sure it is an annoying one.
