Edit: Natalia Kills Spammers
Edit: I received a message from Natalia from the xanga team. Here it is:
“hey dan, i think i’ve killed all the spammers for now, but could you let everyone on your spam post let me know if they come across any other accounts sending junk mail?” (Natalia sounds so tough when she talks about killing the spammers. I wonder if she went to their house and did it commando style).
So contact Natalia if you are getting new spam messages at this point.
How many spam messages have you received in your message box today?
Comments (124)
just one from SeXxYcHiCk18459
No more than any other day.
9 >.< and counting
About 30, I have turned the private messages off.
Curse you. I was just working on this!!! Mine’ll be up in a minute.
0 I’m either lucky or very unpopular.
I had 2…
And to be fair to president Obama, this really has nothing to do with him.
9 but I switched to friends only ,on messages. Happy V-day to you & Your Wife. Did you do a good job?
I’ve got anout 30 of those spam messages. And I don’t ecen live in the US, ha!

None at all, but lots of warnings about it. I think those were ether featured of who have plugz up were hit. I have been rather inactive this week, so they left me alone.
I have also blogged about it as well.

I am spamless. I find meaning in any and every message, though the message I take away may not be the message intended or literally-conveyed.

Natalia said your post was spam?
Kathi
None thank goodness.
Natalia is a Xanga ninja. Go girl!
Thank God!!!
Or at least thank the Xanga team!!!
LOL! Well, maybe you should ask her about it…Maybe she really tracked the spammers down and made them beg for mercy…
None, but as a rule, spammers never really pester me anyway. I think they are afraid of my site. Personally, I didn’t realize I was that boring hehe.
zero. i’m hesitant to even post that here because now i might be targeted
Natalia is a BAMF
Too many but hopefully it has died down now.
zip…I didn’t even know spamming messages were going around…I must be really out of the loop
I got several. All about signing up for ringtones and such for $9.99/mo..
I didn’t get any. Even spammers won’t talk to me. XD
Natalia is a super Russian KGB agent
0. in a way that makes me sad because i dont have enough traffic to be known and spammed :]

Twenty four, according to my e-mail inbox. Thanks, Natalia! (And thanks to Dan for telling us!)
None.. I dont think I’ve ever gotten one..

Natalia is all that.
I’m so popular. I didn’t get a single one!
