It appears that the General Discussion forum was spammed.

I'm guessing that, at some time, the forum was changed to allow anonymous postings rather than requiring users to register. While registration is thought to prevent participation in discussions, it does prevent the poisoning of discussion topics from spam and completely off-topic discussions.

I have turned off the ability to allow for anonymous posting to the General Discussion forum (the other forums were already set to allow registered users only).

Additionally, I have cleared out some of the spam messages from the discussions. However, a lot remain. I am sure that the moderators will delete the spam messages over the next day or so.

Thanks for everyone's understanding!
