Well its good you PMed him. I think that could be a good way. It is really no problem hun :) I don't mind welcoming new members ^^. I really hope you get that problem fixed!
Oh, and that you like it here. It is a wonderful site :)
How are you? :3
I have never talked to him personally. I haven't seen him on since september :/. Thats just me.
As for the spammers, I have no idea how he got rid of them. I do know spammers are annoying as hell. I am really sorry I can't give you alot of info on it. I would help you myself if I knew how. I am just a measly teenager who only knows a few hacking skills here and there. Nothing big though :I (I have only hacked my friends accound after a hacker hacked it and changed her password etc etc. I was just helping get it back)
