Pprune Spam?

Is Pprune starting a social site or does someone have access to the contact information from our pprune profiles?

Anyone else get this stuff?

Looks like Natalia08, joined Aug 20, will have a short sojourn here. Hmmm. Megan & Samantha. The top page of that site looks almost scam-like, with pointless semi-random text skinning it. But then I'm a suspicious ol' fart. Anyway, it's a "anyone can create a social site" ning.com domain.

Looks like Nattie joined and started hitting the most likely suspects here.

I was impressed with the quality of a few photos on their social website.
I had not said anything to the mods as I was waiting for the nudes.
(actually I assumed we were all bombarded at once, now I feel special, don't you gents?)

Gentlemen,

You are indeed all very special

You have been singled out from the many thousands of PPRuNe registrants to receive this communication!

It appears to have been purely manual, so hardly worthy of the name "spam", but rest assured that "steps" have already been taken in the corridors of PPRuNe power.

Can I be special too? She wrote to me as well.

If it's not worthy of being called "spam" but it was a girl that sent it maybe we could call it "Pam"? (Female - but not quite spam).

I have strange image involving zimmer frames receding into the distance with Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister-like voices echoing down the corridor. "That naughty, naughty girl." - "You'd better put your helmet on." - "It'll mean repotting the geraniums."

Bushfiva,

You have any uncanny insight into the innermost sanctum of PPRuNe...

I received one of these this evening. I'm not feeling that special as mine was from a chap called Alan!
