Linkback emails

Yesterday, I received several emails like this:

Dear Mooseman,

What is a LinkBack?

LinkBacks are links from elsewhere that reference a forum discussion. These links are registered in our forums in three different ways: Pingbacks, Trackbacks or Refbacks. To learn more about this feature, please visit this page:

Most of the links don't work and I got several of the emails, mostly from my manuals thread. It was interesting to know who is linking back though. One for an oil filter comparison is linked back to a government of China website.

We are aware of the emails. There was a system glitch that sent a ton of emails that were never supposed to be sent. Please ignore them and accept our apologies.

No apologies required . Just wondering what they were about. Still interesting to know where our stuff is getting linked to

Still having server/software issues?

This was either a vBulletin glitch or vBSEO. One is already extinct and the other is on a steady decline.

I got them too. Kind of guessed they were garbage.

It would be cool if you could pop up a message after logging in telling us. Sort of like a "we apologize" message or something.

Nope! We are just shooting them and putting them out of our misery.
