I know things were spammy before hand but after the Happy 5th Year thread ( which was spammed to hell and back, and I'm just as guilty for it ) a lot of other threads turned spammy too. Not to mention that during the server change a lot of spam arose from the depths.
Perhaps it's simply because for perhaps a week or two a lot of spam has been going around and habbits are hard to break? ( Not trying to give it an excuse or anything though. )
Since you aren't the only member from EoFF who has complained about it I surely will watch myself a little more, especially in the Ciddies thread.
