Email Aliases Removed

In view of recent spam attacks on several clan members who had Email-Aliases (name@ramjasrkp.com which forwarded automatically to the specified real email account), all the aliases have been removed.

Either we all pick up a new alias name to be put up on the DX site only to get spammed again after a few months, or we put a new system of sending emails from the DX site itself by, say, selecting the member name from a drop-down menu. This way, we don't reveal our emails in public.

What say?

look u dont need all that,

the best way is to put contact form.. and put an drop down menu for ur members or in general for the clan..

when people select, the email will be sent to respective selection in drop down menu.

what do u say?

I believe that's exactly what I wrote as my second suggestion in my post. :-)

Anyway. I'll do that.

In order to prevent spamming through the display of E Mail addresses (in the form "name@abc.com"), the "@" can be replaced by "at" and "." by "dot" (in the form "name at abc dot com").
Regarding that PHP Contact Form, I already wrote one for the previous layout, same will be done in this layout.
