We need to investigate why this forums is being targeted by a few spambots.

I have come to a conclusion that there's a spambot that just recently (3 months ago, at most) marked this forum site as a destination to put all advertising posts at.

This didn't happen before March.

I'm not skilled in web management or administration behind the scenes, but at least I can provide a bit of clues to help track down what these spammers are doing.
 
Track them? Good luck with that !
Well, whatever you're doing to stop them, they will "sneak in" more or less.
But Captcha to register for signing up! Not a Bad Idea !
 
By a few do you mean me, acc, and Cheshire?

    Not on the Headline News page just on the Forums page can we get that Featured and Trending on the home page?
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Since the home page is technically a forum, it now shows on all forum views. Still in the sidebar.

    Guys just a heads up I am going to be shutting the site down soon. I am just waiting on the NUON people to decide whether they want to transfer forum data and keep the discord. My email is [email protected] for anyone that wants to keep in touch and I have a facebook too. I will make an official post later. Love you guys and will miss everyone!
