Read about it in This Article (http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=684). It's happening in the Members List here. :(

Thanks for the info... I'll have to read into that a little more once I get home, but I had noticed a few people with porn links in their profiles. IIRC I banned them when I noticed it, but I'll go through and remove the links as well a little later. :)

I read that over, one question....if guests cant access your memberlist then there is no way for a spider to crawl profiles right? I mean I dont want the stuff on my site either but I feel alittle better knowing that I aint helping them out any 2.

Correct, once we disabled guest viewing of the memberlist this problem all but cured itself. I think we have had one in the past 6 weeks since I tweaked things.
