Refresh spam tactic

I came upon a forum post that suddenly redirected to a dirty site.

So I had to investigate, of course. Took me a while to find the offending code.

Found it below the post itself:
refresh

The code was added to a post below the one I was looking for in the list, and it was added to the subject field.

End result - everything above it gets redirected to THIS spammer’s site.

This was a wwwboard forum, probably an early version, by Matt Wright. The most insecure forum on the internet.
