It seemed to format the members properly to be able to send hundreds of PM's at the same time.

Don't know if the Spammer was able to do that successfully the first time though.

It probably won't be known for several days as to how many Spam they were able to send during the brief few minutes they were on the board.

If anyone is able to send more than a hand full of PM's at a time, this might be a good time to modify the board software to minimize those capabilities.
