Hi guys.
I'm mainly posting here to show you what sort of reaction was had and to pass on the official apology from drums.com.
NocturnalSoul (admin of drums.com forums) posted the following in response to a complaint lodged by me on their forums:
Quote: "darkbasicman - On behalf of the Drums.com team, we sincerely apologize to you, your fellow forum members and your site, for this situation.
We don't tolerate any spamming, nor do we support any slandering of any other websites. While Drumology's intentions might have been admirable, from his point of view, to support a website he likes, we do not approve his actions.
From the link provided, I have come to the conclusion that this spamming was fueled by some sort of revenge for his banning on your forum. Drumology will be dealt with, i can assure you that.
Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconvience this may have cause you and your fellow forum members.
Noc - Drums.com Forums Moderator"
Kudos to him.
Here's a few comments left by other users:

Quote: "I did not know that you spammed another site. That is very uncool, and unethical. I thought you emailed from your own mail list.
Never do something like this again. It only makes us look bad.
If you want other people to join, ask your friends, not emails from another site and people you do not know.
You are now being watched by all of our moderators. This an official warning.
I know your intentions were good for us, but no spamming."

I hope they all scanned there computer because that same day I found a worm in my computer but I removed it. So, sorry to all who recieved those emails."
(see, it was all a worm
