Looks like some spamming sh*t.
Kill da *!

It was a legit account, or at least seemed to be when first joined...

I'll look through the older database backups and see if some corruption occurred.

Ok, cleaned that up, it was in the comments section of the database for the main site. Looks like it was something left over front the last bout of spamming that I missed.

All cleaned up again User has been banned and the account password changed so the MySQL data injection hack won't work.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention

Oho! Spammer on "New artists" and "New albums" sections.

[mal7921]

I must have been in the process of cleaning those last bits up as you posted, should be all clear again now.

[mal7921]

Ok, all clear again (And pruned a few suspect users from the database).

Thanks for the heads up and thankyou to the other mods who've been in and done some cleaning up

Also I can see their other jobs: a lot of stupid threads in Russian (and not only) , established in the year 1969 btw, hahah.
They're in this sub-forum:
http://www.atarimusic.net/forum/forum?f=27
and in other sub-forums too.

Like this one http://www.atarimusic.net/forum/topic?f=27&t=805 and many others.
I wish those * die.

Those are going to be interesting to remove, if you click on them the forum says they no longer exist...

I suspect that these could have been ones that the user has been deleted and had all posts removed, but something has kept a reference to the subject, hence the unusual dates.

Looks like I'll be delving into the database again tonight

[mal7921]

Fixed again, resyncing the forum database sorted it, though each forum needs to be done individually.

Still, noted for future reference. Thank you again
