Default An Email Spammer's Paradise

[removed]

A list of email address, one of them being mine, with the name 'wiiusers-email-no-dupe'.

I've been wondering where all the v spam was coming from, could it be from here? Probably since it's the only place with my email when I google it!

Maybe it's not WiiUsers.net, could be some other site that just used 'wiiusers' as a general term, but there are a lot of nintendo-fan looking emails on the list so it's a possibility.


Could an Admin explain this if possible?

Oh, and if anyone else spots their email, let us know so we can find where the list is from!

I tried to contact the host but their contact form is broken :V

EDIT: Some more

[removed]

There may be a chance they delete fails automatically after inactive use so I'll remove the links after a week.

This site was hacked a couple of months ago, and unfortunetly, the idiots got a hold of the e-mailing list of all the members who registered. We as admins know where the problem came from and did everything we could to combat it. We reported them to the ICCC.

Oh... right At least I have my answer. Links removed. Hopefully they get deleted ;_;

EDIT: Might want to remove the links from that quote.
