Strange PMs

FOTF Friday, 8/8/2014

(I also posted this in the bugs/issues forum.)  Apparently, my account was hacked to some extent recently: K&O called me and told me (and I saw it for myself in the message history) about some strange messages he received from me; random things--some in different languages, some seemingly random arrangements of letters and question marks, a couple of blank ones, and a random thing about home runs--along with several suspicious links.  If anyone else gets anything like this from me, DON'T CLICK ON THE LINKS.  I don't know what they lead to.  Very sorry about this, and I hope no one else has gotten anything like this (though it looked like 72_Chevy C10 had gotten a couple blank ones about a month ago--but that could've been me clicking a wrong button or something.  Again, I don't know if this is anything due to the site--probably some sort of bot or virus--so I'll make a general post about it as well.  I already changed my password.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but a couple of the message at the beginning of the thread (we'd been writing back and forth about Redlines) were apparently unable to be viewed.  There was some sort of thing in their places about a "severe warning," or something like that.  Again, sorry if it happened to anyone else--if it did, please let me know.

Ive reached out to folks to try and figure out if this is site spam or personal spam that is getting onto the site. Please keep posting instances of this as you see them.

I can turn off PMs if this is widespread.
