I would like to thank many of you for helping out with the Spam issue in the past 10 days. I have some family health issues which has kept me away from the forum (and e-mails somewhat) but things are now coming back to normal. Cheers for bearing with me.

The spammers have broken through IP Boards front line defenses and you will see about 200 bots registering a day on FOH .99.9% are caught by the system and banned. I delete the banned list daily. However 1-3 are getting through daily.

We have been advised to upgrade the forum to the new version (forum only upgraded 12 months ago :rolleyes: ) so we will start the apparently never ending process.

Thank you for your help guys and girls. Particularly Frank, Keith, Riaz and all the mods. I haven't had a chance to thank you personally but knowing you have our back means a great deal.

Cheers

Rob

Good to hear things are coming back to normal on your end Rob. As we all know Family comes first, all the rest is secondary...This place is like all of our second familys as well I think. No need to thank me all I did was just report spammers as I saw them. now if only one of them would sell a drug I actually Need LOL!

U guys must be doing a great job. I didn't know this was a prob.

How does spam affect us forum members ?

Yes good point Ghabanos

I have noticed a lot more dodgy emails as of late ,oh and the vids in the shout box and the odd dodgy new member post ,but I cannot say I truly understand what I am meant to be looking for

Cheers OZ
