Thanks. Here is something interesting. I think anyway.
11 of the 14 that were automatically made PMs in the CP are on the Top Posters List. Yes we are a vain group. I am proud to say I just went over 9,000 to little or no fanfare I might add, lol.
The other three aren't, but they are fairly active users.
About two months ago, before 7.5.7; a super spammer (to me) got in and sent PMs to everyone on the Top User List trying to sell furniture. No posts to the board. I banned him but not before mass hysteria set in. We have a very active board. Not always good. Have no idea if that had anything to do with it.
