If you go to the members list and look at the registered websites, most of them are Viagra.com and the like. I have it set so you have to reply to a conformation through email before you can post. It looks like spam bots have gotten ahold of these forums - thankfully conformation requests have been able to keep them at bay.

TL;DR - Spammers, cream cheese you.

This reminds me of when me and some friends started OoPA, we had a nice big, public fight, with the owner of the site we were with prior. He brought up that we had 20 members on OoPA's forums while he had over 4,000. He didn't reply when I pointed out that 3,987 of them were spammers never having posted anything in the forums (they had a setting in the forum software to sort by number of posts).

If spam accounts are coming, that means there is traffic coming here. You are growing man. Keep it up.

You're right but I guess all things considered these forums are still doing really well.

I change the name of this topic for your convenience. (Sam & Max)

I wonder how many we've banned so far.
