Not really hacked. A bot creating accounts to post crap on our site. I'm  removing them and the posts daily to try to control it. Looking for a solution but we don't have web support any more.

Thanks - I'm on a trip right now and doing things on our website with my tablet is awkward. But, will be looking for a solution when I get home.

Just a quick update - We have started a new process of requiring new Registered Users to be Approved by the Membership Officer (or other Officers) before they can complete the account creation or post to our forums.  Within just a week the bogus requests have stopped since they can no longer just get into our system and post thier garbage.  Hope this keeps them out for a while.  I haven't seen any spam since starting the approvals.  Please let me know if you do.

Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns with the new process.
