| Strange Signup? Hello. I think this is the correct forum. My forum is CompuTalk - Free Forum Hosting - Discuss Web Development, SEO, Advertising, Domains, Hosting and More It is quite a small computer forum but today I got a really strange signup. Here is the persons profile: CompuTalk - Free Forum Hosting - Discuss Web Development, SEO, Advertising, Domains, Hosting and More - Profile I do not know who they are but they have a link to my forum and a link to my HostGator affiliate in their sig, I have no idea who they are. Has anyone had anything like this before or know why they might be doing this? Calum  | ||||

Thanks for the replies, IP is from Romania or around there, done some IP checks and no one has ever visited, posted or registered with that IP before. Will just keep looking to make sure | |||||

| Keep in mind this person is representing you by the fact he is linking to you on your own forum - personally I would be wary of such a thing.
