Not "hacked" but "spammed"

When the cat's away, the mice will play.

I saw some unsavory names there, myself, though I don't recall precisely what they were. Plus a website called 4 c h a n [dot] org shows up over and over.

These are people who are "signing up" not because they have anything to do with the organization, but because they can have whatever they type in as their "name" show up on C4L's home page.

And there's no one at C4L moderating this. Brilliant.

In addition to shooting off some quick emails, I just tried calling the office. I didn't expect anyone to be there, since they announced they'd be out of the office for the trip to MN; however, you might think they would have set up call forwarding or at least hooked up an answering machine at the C4L headquarters. Instead, their phone rang repeatedly (I allowed it to ring for over a minute and a half) and there is no response whatsoever.

C4L, do you need a chipin for voicemail??

Michael, do you know how to reach the C4L webmaster? Anyone else know? This is not good.

UPDATE 2:34pm PDT: I just got word from someone with C4L that they have just removed the spammed names. :D

no profanity?

what is @$#% you faggot
or $%^# the democrats

i didn't see any profanity,

just a website name.

But you are right, the site has been hacked.

I'm just looking that the scrolling names...

The names are normal--there's no profanity.

to a newcomer

i would be very turned off by that can someone call someone.

a concerned patriot

A website keeps on popping up

I guess the honor system doesn't work anymore.

Yes, that site name (over and over), plus, uh, other stuff

Which means the membership count as shown may not be quite as accurate as we might hope.
