As of late there has been an influx of spammers... not only in the main sections but numerous Private Messages (PM's) have been sent out by these spammers...

If you get a message from anyone you dont know, do not click the links within the private message!

We are banning at least 3-5 of these fake accounts and spammers each week...

Also if you have any site issues, please post them up in here and our IT manager will try and resolve any site issues.
Please have patience with us while we work through these issues to bring everyone a better and safer site.

BTW- Most vbulletin message boards deal with these issues, we are not singled out.

Thanks for your support,

SCBA Admin Team

We have made some changes to prevent the onslaught of spam as of late, private messages will only be allowed 1 per 10 minute time period... this will cut down on the number of new users that are mass spamming our members... again, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN A PM UNLESS IT IS FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE, i.e. a known user on this site.

We are working diligently to detour the spammers, please bare with us!

It is inevitable to have these types of attacks on occasion with any Vbulletin Forums site... It is not a direct attack on SCBA, rather a scripting hack on Vboards as a whole.
The site will be going through some updates over the next couple of days, moving to bigger servers for more bandwidth, and an update for the software version has a major update... the change will be seamless, you will not notice any delays, only a faster site.
Thanks for offering members help too Dherandez2319 (David)...
