In case anyone is wondering why our membership numbers goes up by 20 then back down by 15 most days, it's because of automatic spammers that join the site just to try and link to porn or drug web sites (or loans).
We currently delete 10 - 20 per day, so also if you have accidently been deleted, just re-join, you can use the same name without any problems.
We have also noticed that some other forums don't seem to delete any 'Spam bots' but leave them listed to help push their membership numbers up....we prefer real members listed
Anyone know for sure if these spammers are computer generated programs (like email address gathering programs) or sad people that troll forum sites signing up (most don't even activate their membership ) _________________

I do like you on my own forum.. Ofcourse I donīt delete as many as you do. Really better with a real number of users than having high numbers of members that do not put anything of interest into the forum..
Keep it up!! _________________ *** Miqe ***
