Yes, the level of spam was unbelievable. To be honest it took up a lot of my own time keeping it under control, deleting and banning spam bots. I also know the other mods had the same commitment. Thankfully due to us being in different time zones we kept the forum reasonable clear of spam. The new forum software seems to filter out the majority of spam, but sometimes the odd one gets through. However, as soon as another mod or myself find it, it will be gone!!
I for one am very keen to keep this forum alive and kicking. There are a lot of forum members I now consider to be friends and hope the forum is around for a long time to come.

I do know vlasi and clivejo did an admirable service as moderators controlling spam in the old forum clive and I chatted somewhat about that a time or two. Anyone can get past the most stringent spam control if the accounts are created by real people instead of bots and probably what's going on right now. There is really no stopping that in a open forum. Kinda would be nice if the forum were sync'ed with our reseller accounts and forum memberships were generated off the reseller accounts allowing a optional screen name. The need to allow all visitors sign up privilages would not be needed anymore so spam would probably drop to non existent. Take alot of coding though I suspect api wise.
