Because marketing a Korean casino site to forum of majority English-speaking chicken owners is the perfect way to get traffic! lol
I was wondering what they were trying to advertise with that haha

We have been under attack for weeks now. We are aware of it and doing all we can to try to stop it.

I think it's Korean.

Not that it matters what language it is, but the whole site is being taken over!

Maybe temporarily, BYC could block all messages with Korean in it? Make Korean like a "bad word" so it can't get through.

I thought of some other ideas, but those have probably all been tried already.

I ran it through Google Translate and it said it was Korean. Just an idea maybe block entire IP ranges from the origin country of the spammers? I know it would block others from the country from comming here but it is a thought. Another thing possibly making it so people can only post so many threads per so many min. ??
