Forums in general are vulnerable to "harvesting bots", or scripts that are designed to harvest email addresses on forums. With Sportbikers.Net summited to a lot of search engines, I've seen a few of them on here trying to harvest email addresses for spamming purposes. For your protection, all email links will be hashed as an image. This will prevent "harvesting bots" from recognizing it as an email address, and protect your email address from being collected.

Here's an example of how my email link looks like: webmaster@<hidden>

My source of pr0n is your old collection of videos. Oh, yeah, whenever you want those back, let me know.

Hope Keri doesn't read this. :noteeth
