Well, the application's 'spam' filter is useless and, dare I say broken, so it can happen anywhere. Fortunately, the spam filters on the mail system have been punting most of this stuff since Feb after I rebuilt it all so it doesn't make it to the mailing lists, but it is a good reminder that there's a lot of crap still hanging around in the mail archives that should be cleaned out, too.
I've removed the spam from the forums you mentioned and appreciate the report. I really hate these lowlifes and find it rather embarrassing that we can't keep up with them a bit better.
Please let us know when you see spam in the forums as the only thing more annoying than a spammer is giving a spammer free hosting.
