Spammers are relentless! I received an automated notification from a company who said that spammers were using their links, and they requested I remove the spam from this site. I had no idea what they were talking about, but they provided links. Evidently it's a hole in the vbulletin blog software, where people can create "custom blocks" which allow them to post crap, even if they don't have permissions to post any blog entries. What's even weirder is that the blogs that are created with no posts, don't show up on any list of blogs, even though the pages exist when the custom blocks are linked directly. I have closed the hole, and banned the users, but here is what one looked like up until this morning:
