You've been spammed, but I don't think directly from the Hunger Site. It's
not cost-efficient to spam guest books. They also have a disclaimer for
exactly this kind of thing:
http://www.thehungersite.com/policyonspam.html
Anyway, I haven't been hit, and I'm a member of both the Legomaniac's
Webring and the LDraw Webring.
I think the Hunger Site *might* be legitimate, though. I'm skeptical of how
effective it is, or of how much of the ad money leaves the company. They
admit that they're a for-profit comany. You only have their word that
they're giving x percent to feed people.
I'd recommend donating to a more trustworthy organization, such as the Red
Cross. I also personally donate money through my church, but YMMV with this
approach.
