You know, I never got how spamming forums was an effective strategy. I don't know anyone that clicks links for "replica watches" or "cheap pills" other than spiders - yet forums are plagued with them. The FTC need to do more than "Can Spam" about it. How about confiscating entire servers from hosting companies with rogue pharmacy websites or mailservers connected with spam? That'll give hosting companies an unethical (but highly effective) kick. While we're at it, let's evict a few member states from the EU for "exporting malicious data".

- I'm militant towards spam.

We just shoot the spammers on site :) :)

There is actually another major forum software update out (3.2.3), but in order to get this forum (and my other ones) up to date I have to rebuild the skin. Not sure if it will help reduce spammer signup's but it may help.

Tom,this very good news.I hope,what spam attack will be small. fear when forum breacking or delete base forum.In domain ru(my country) this happen on 12 % site: hacker give admin password and nikname and after delete inform base site or make other site,delete old information. I hope what this problem do not will be with tU and forum will be live very many years.Good what administration and moderator team make work on normal functional forum.Respect you. :thumbsup:

I know I've not been here long, but if you could use another designer, hit me up.
