Why can't I read the Off-Topic Discussions forum?

Why do I get this when I try to read the "Off-Topic" forum??

Off-Topic Discussion


You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum.

Probably a permissions error. The admin has already been notified of the problem.

It's been nuked off the site, due to it being a magnet for spambots.

Apologies for that, you should all have access now.

 

[Brother Jim]

Yay!!

Thanks Matt !!!!

Does anyone except spammers still want to use the Off-Topic Discussion forum?

Of course, spam which is excreted into Off-Topic Discussion is spam which hasn't been excreted into a more important forum. A few spammers have found their way into other forums but more will probably do so if their favourite playground is demolished again...
