Theme Spam

April 29th, 2006
 

A few days ago, I had three or instances of this and today I logged into find five more: theme spam.

In other words, I’m getting sites listed in my incoming links section of my WordPress dashboard that are things like this:

Dashboard & Link/Theme Spam

Visiting these sites I discover that they’re all using that stupid theme I created and allowed the wonderful public to have. (Also on the interesting list is another site that has taken my theme and has it for download… interesting. Seriously, I wish I knew what I was thinking when I created that theme, I must have had a brain tumor or something.)

So, weird? Or is my theme just spammer-friendly?

    Hey. I love the layout! I don’t get it though… theme spam? I take it you made a theme for others to download.. and that is how it happened? :confused:

    Theme spam? I’d seriously never heard of that before I read your post. Spammers just keep becoming more and more annoying!

    Interesting, I’ve never heard of that. What is the theme that you’ve released?
