I got it too. For those who didn't get it, or for comparing messages, here is what I received:
An interesting new way for spammers to target the forum users. Quite disconcerting and annoying, too!Spam message from candyman99 wrote:I just made a gaming development a week ago and I need people. But I pm you because if you need any thing like banners logos sprites what ever then you can request any of that stuff at this forum you will love it. Request away. It is awesome. Also if you need help or if you are making a game there is a subforum where you can get teams togethor and make a game with all your friends so you will not have to always be pming each other back and forth. And if you have a game already maybe you can post it in the WIP or in the completed games the forum is awesome I love it. I would love suggestions on how to make it better. If you are experienced then maybe you can help make it better. Or if you already know how to make stuff like sprites banners logos music you could do the request. You have to try it please help I need some people to join could you that would be awesome. If you do join you are the best and thank you so much you rock. please join it is at http://prize.forumdediscussions.com/Gra ... me-t76.htmit is free to so could you please join and use it too maybe if you know how to make games or need help with them you could do that at the forum you could also help me make a game there that I am making if you know how to or you can show us your games and help make the forum better. If you are working on a game now maybe when you are done you could help. you are the best

The forum is actually pretty good.
Although by "pretty" I mean extremely and by "good" I mean crap.
Like this fun little post in the games board:
Or this cool one by the admin in another thread:

Like this fun little post in the games board:

I received it too, but at a first glance I knew it was a spam so I didn't read it at full at all. Upon reading this thread, I noticed a 'discussion forum' being discussed here - so I figure the link is in in the spam message. So, I opened up my pm box only to find the message is gone for good..

Edited the PM quote so that now the original link points here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_spam
A matter of time until Google pairs them together
