Nick, Your projects may have not been spammed, but I think it's more likely that I removed the spam before you had a chance to see it. This topic is just the tip of the iceberg: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5127 The Mango project's forum had probably been the target of the most spam since it's at the top of the forum list, but I think that most projects have probably been affected. I suspect that some of the moderators catch spam in their forums and deal with it, but many moderators have inactive project forums where the spam could just sit trying to increase PageRank for somebody's random e-commerce website or generate clicks or whatever the spammer's goal is. -- jcc7
