Forum Admin Greg Posted February 14, 2013 Forum Admin Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 An important upgrade is going to be made to the forums shortly. I do not have an ETA on when the upgrade will occur, but it should happen in the next 24 hours. I will give warning when the upgrade happens, but please be patient if there is some downtime.

guyser Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I thought the new system was to cut down on spam , not increase it. We have a ton today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest American Woman Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yes, the board has been getting a lot of spam again lately. I imagine as soon as the software is updated, spammers figure their way around it. Must make for a lot of work for the admin - so the work in that regard is much appreciated!

eyeball Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 How on Earth do spammers get even the minimum level of appreciation one presumes they need to make their efforts worth the trouble let alone worth paying for? It's like someone figuring out how to make money trolling on internet forums. How do you that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest American Woman Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I don't think it's people as such - I think it's mostly spambots, automated computer programs that can search the web for forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Somebody still has to write and launch the spambots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi all - Greg and I exchanged some PMs and he feels that the recent SPAM problem should be fixed now. Thanks to all of you for submitting those reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmy Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 How on Earth do spammers get even the minimum level of appreciation one presumes they need to make their efforts worth the trouble let alone worth paying for? It's like someone figuring out how to make money trolling on internet forums. How do you that? Some computer-savvy person wrote about this a while back. I think the gist of it was that they don't even need people to click on their links... just the fact that their links exist on the forums is valuable to them, because when the search engine webcrawlers find their links, it boosts their search engine rankings. Something like that, at least. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
