    It will take an update to vBulletin before it goes away.
    If those updates cost money, I'm very suspicious about who is behind it. Nobody in this world does anything without reason. I'm having trouble swallowing the notion of "Cyberpunks" (bunch of immature twits looking for attention) -- being responsible.

    Think about it, just how informed would these people need to be in order to do what they're doing? They're professional programmers with, at very least, inside information relating to the system.

    Writing character recognition software for all those pictures would be a tedious, time-consuming exercise.

    *Skills required to do that?

    - Application programming
    - Subclassing
    - DIB knowledge
    - Mathematics expert

    *Who could have done this?

    - Cyberpunk
    - vBulletin

    *Why would they do this?

    - For profit
    - Attention
    - Immaturity
    - Insanity

    That's the best analysis / argument I can come up with at the moment.

    Hope it helps you solve the problem.

    Really?
    They must have been because I could not do it with my skill level.

    Disbelievers! If Spongebob and Patrick can light a campfire at Bikini Bottom, anything is possible.

    Don't worry Jeremy, you're not a suspect in this one.

    But ummm, anyone who is a %$^& and has a proven aptitude in the aforementioned criteria is. So, I guess this probably narrows it right down (at least I like to think it does)

    They didn't? a. fake the apollo missions , b. put Gilligan's Island on the map? c. Create spambots and viruses to sell software, d. all of the above. Hey are you still lookin' at the treasure map on the Denny's kids menu ?

    If that statement is to be perceived as meaning: "I'm important", then I guess I would be, given that there's 5 million dollars on my head. Incidentally I'm actually related to one of these millionaires, I think my mum knocked him back on a date 40-years ago. But he did manage to get his hands on my Uncle's wife.
