Er... I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but I thought I'd report it since I've been glancing at this thread and I haven't seen anyone else mention it over the last few days.

Like some of the others I've been recieving for awhile a great many "Spam" type of e-mails of the type described which I delete right away.  It's become such a daily occurance I don't even bat an eye at it.

In the last few days or so I think right about the time the site was redone, I noticed they all seemed to cease, the "You've won... Inherited.. etc" and such things I mean such as were described earlier in the thread.  I did recieve one "Spam" type e-mail today which I deleted, it may be unrelated, but apart from that nothing and the sudden silence is almost creepy.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this sudden "silence"?

I also have, if I may, a thought as to why StaceyG and her fellow employs may not be recieveing any "spam" type e-mails on there accounts, more of a question really... Is it possible that assuming  these teams of hackers and such may have cracked Rendo's security measures, is it not also possible they can distinguish certian e-mails and such as belonging to Admin/Mods/Programmers/etc including new ones they set up as a sort of bait as it were for them and as such avoid sending them any of the "Spam" type e-mails others seem to be recieving?  I honestly don't know anything about such matters I just wondered if that might explain the disparity.

Well, if in fact there is a hole in Rendo security I certianly hope the Staff is able to come up with a suitable defense.

Best of luck! ^^
