Went to the BF site to see what today's game for members was..then went to the forum for that game and saw Spam Spam Spam jumk. did see on 2nd pge some posts from members that screen size too small but that was all. First page and 3/4 of 2nd just the junk stuff. Does everyone just leave the place overnight? This just gets tiresome and worrysome. If there's no one there to keep an eye on what's going on in the forums who's to say a download is safe?

Someone posting spam is not at all the same as you getting an infected download. There are very few websites that have 24 hour surveillance, it's costly and most times unnecessary. They will take care of it when they get there.

I've been a member for several years and my husband is a retired IT professional. I can assure you that BFG is a safe and reliable site. I do a lot of business online and find that BFG is one of the best designed site I've used. As Ana said, spam at odd hours is common on just about any site.

I just found a thread by the Big Fish moderators discussing the spam issue. I am including a link here for anyone who is interested in reading it.

As Ana stated and Sparkle stated, it does not pose a security threat. It is unfortunate that the moderators have to waste so much time contending with it.

Think about it.
Just because you can post messages to the forum doesn't mean you can swap out the game downloads for infected ones.
