Erm, every now and then, I check the forum, and there then appear those topics with titles like "buy Swiss watches replicas low price" or "free Internet connections". All of those fake topics are either created by, like ICARAX and FairlyObvious (I think someone is hacking your accounts) and the last reply is always by Brad. But there are 0 Posts! I click them, and a blank page appears.
Did that ever happen to anyone else? If not, I will make a screenshot of it.
Anyone?

I've seen it a couple of times. But I don't really care in the end.

EDIT: I think it's because Brad is deleting them, PM.

I think it's Brad deleting them too. Maybe he's just deleting the original post? Who knows.

The exact same thing happened to me. The topic was something about wedding dresses, it was apparently started by FO, the last poster was Brad, he had posted one second ago, the number of posts were 0 and when I clicked on it, it redirected me to the forum and it disappeared.

Some funny things happened to the forum.
I once saw a topic that "was started by FFA" but the first post was made by Wingdemon!

@AJ32 Well, obviously, the first post was originally FFA's but then was deleted by a mod.

yeah, there was one fairly made on the boots tags that are randomly popping up (or something like that) that had the 0 post thing.

What one of mine?? ima check if any are missing. then i'll edit.

EDIT: nope, it appears none of mine are missing. Which one was it PM? because it seems as though that brad has NOT deleted any of mine. Perhaps its an issue..(?)

Looks like there are a few spam tags kicking around. I've got rid of most of them.

[EDIT] Seems the tags aren't updating though. Maybe they update every so often.

I'm deleting the poster, should be deleting the threads too, I've been checking the front page for them, are there any left?

Well, I just logged in when I see that I have a new private message. I went to check it out and there I have a message sent by random user without a username. And well, in his message, he is advertising some random crap which I have no idea what they are and his message is filled with lots of hyperlinks. Probably a spambot too. I swear that PM of his appeared in a spambot topic before.

Brad, you may want to look into a way to clear lots of tags quickly too. On some of the topics were hundreds of tags. I clicked a few then decided that I was not gonna spend an hour doing them and set up a macro, but it was still not the most efficient way to do it.

Also, any idea why they still show up after I've deleted all traces of them (look at the hot-tags and tags page).
