The Spam

Was this TOMB sponsored, or caused by the inane execution of the announcement message?

what do you mean? sponsored? no, tape op mag is paying for the hosting. inane execution of the announcement message? does not compute.

The announcement message included everyone's email address in the body of the message. I just received a message from 'Front End Audio' to that email address, as did everyone I have asked about it, and presumably everyone on that list.

oh! sorry...no, that email was supposed to have everyone BCC'd! the board has a bug or something and we're trying to figure out why it happened!
phpbb explicitly says that their mass email function BCCs people and it used to but it seems to not work anymore! however it's not something we can test without having everyone emailed again!

i don't plan on ever using it again, but if i need to email everyone, rather just exporting everyone's addresses to my own mail program and doing it that way.

please email me the company that sent you the spam so i can contact them directly about the uncoolness of spamming everyone from that list.

again, i personally apologize for that nonsense!
