     Yeah, that spam with the imgur link to some "pedophile" mug shot
showed up in a bunch of channels earlier today, and I added a spamfilter
for it in case it came back.  I guess it came back, but not in the way I
expected. :)

     The AnthroChat servers have been getting hit with a massive spam
bot network, over the past several days, so things are a bit trigger
happy at the moment.  The number of IP addresses that it has been coming
in on is about 1000 per day, and has reached nearly 45000 IP addresses
over the course of its two runs (it has shown up before).

     Anyway, the gline for your IP is removed.
