That Web Gateway That Was Making Links In Our Posts

Sorry about the clumsy Subject -- couldn't get anything short to make
sense.

That gateway that was stealing aww and creating links from keywords
in our messages -- was that forums4designers.com? I mentioned that
vile practice in another group, and someone asked me what site was
doing that, and that one sounds familiar but I can't seem to see any
links. I remember "spam" was a keyword they were linking from, and
I've checked some of our posts that contain it, but see no linking.
At the same time, back when we were discussing it, I couldn't
consistently see the linking, here, either. Today, three browsers and
no links.

What are you guys seeing there today?

It was indeed forum4designers.com. They were using IntelliTXT from VibrantMedia to extrapolate text links from the content
of their pages. I can't even get to the site right now, so I don't know if that is still in practice - though I would imagine it probably
is

Can anyone else check it, *please*? I wasn't consistently seeing the
links, here, for some reason, so I can't test it myself with certainty.

I've got intellitxt links there now.

Also, seeing this at the bottom of the page source confirms it:

<SCRIPT language="javascript"
src="http://examnotes.us.intellitxt.com/intellitxt/front.asp?IPID=958&MK=10&FG=0000FF&SN=web,nav"></SCRIPT>
