The Plague Of The Constant Spam Bots?

posted on November 4th, 2006, 10:06 am

i have seen forums where the first 5 pages of every category is full of spam posts. so compared to that everything runs fine here
anyway, i think with the transition to the new forums these problems will be gone. i have only seen older forums (like here invision board 1.3) attacked by these spam bots

What's the new board Software? SMF RC 1.X, PHPbb 2.0.21, IPB Licenced 2.0.X, Vbulletin Licenced 3.X, Proboards 4.0, XMB 1.8 You gotta let us know these things. Also you guys going to be using a CMS on the front end?

I had a feeling those two have got alot of popularity these days. if you figure out how to skin SMF let me know I got tired of hunting down images after the first hour.

I think The only thing I can say is I am so sorry, because SMF instead of doing something simple, like keeping all the images tied to variables to be changed on the fly, rather these you have to go through every template file find the image and change it. I am so sorry doca

looking good though, more patience than I
