Might be because of Dave's current Internet access problems. I am interpreting from someone else's post that Dave removed the member, but might not have been able to get to removing those threads, yet.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

@Dave ... you are certainly one of the good guys. This guy or bot was ugly.

Thanks for all you do ... you are our angel .. Angel

I've seen trolls take down gardening sites in the past. For some reason they seem to go after gardening sites a lot.

Thanks again.

It's awful how much spam they can post in just that short time. Glad the guy's account's gone. There might be a need to keep the spam posts on the site for a little while, since there's clearly illegal activity going on and some remote chance to make a case against someone.

Since Dave's internet won't be reliable for a while still, eventually all those posts will be deleted when he can do them all at once.

No, Alice, the culprit is no longer posting (he has been removed); it's just still there until Dave can get to it.

Donald @needrain posted on some of the threads to bump them above the drug dealer's posts. Thanks Donald.
Then Rick posted, and eventually I came along to post pictures. @roseblush also posted. Thanks.

There were 978 threads total. This morning I deleted only the first 100 because of a bug in my script that deletes mass amount of spam. It should all be gone now. Smiling

D'you s'pose you could delete the bump posts I did as well? There were 4-5 of them - can't remember. No relevance now and I've never posted anything else to the Adenium forum, so a mass delete of my postings in that forum should work. TIA.

Maybe Dave should disclose this person's email, so we can all 'personally thank' him .... but then he would have our private email addresses and this would become an endless loop. Grumbling
