No changes that I am aware of. But 2 reasons I am sure why the lack of spam. When we had problems with the spammers, the guys that would post 5 messages and create a new account and do the same, that was when the markets were HOT. That was one of my indicators that the market was on fire. When the markets turned down the spam would decrease, now with the markets so screwed up, I think the spammers know people are not to willing to part with their money to buy some get rich quick stock, most investors just don't have the cash or motivation anymore. I think the spammers know this. Also, I sent a number of emails out to spammers that were always targeting us with spam, threatening to report them to a number of government departments, that cause 2 major spammers to stop spamming the site. (One really bad spammer emailed me and said he would not "advertize on our site anymore) Another one I contacted the domain hosting site and they deleted one of the spammers accounts. So email warnings and slow markets slowed the spam down considerably.
