I have only been on this forum a month and I have never seen a forum hit with so much spam.  I participate in 4 other forums and do not see this sort of spam on any of them.  Why target this group?  No political ranting that I have seen, only a bunch of guys interested in rifles from the 1890s. 

What is with the "Thumbs Up" symbol? 

Looks to me as if the spam is all coming from the same place.   Does this bother any other forum participants?
