I'm sure everyone has noticed all the spam accounts flooding the site. Seriously what happened? There is even one guy sending a new advert every 30 seconds. Did the site get breached or what?

It happen all the time, is mostly due to the version this forum is running aren't able to stop "spam-robots" at the moment. No need for you to do anything, next time Gollevainen log on, he will delete those post. The advantage of being the "god" of this forum.



Gollevainen stopped it for an periode by closing down the registration system. But after it was opened, it has steadily increased.


Belive me Gollevainen and Colosseum are aware of this problem and there have been many talks about how to solve the problem.... But in the end the only way to solve this in my experience is to change to a different forum-engine. But that will not be done before this forum version have run it's time.

Just remember Gollevainen and Colosseum are running this forum for free on there free-time. so there are no dedicated personnel to do this type of work. At the moment Colosseum have some friends designing a new Main-page, they are getting paid in alcohol.....

Yeah Heuhen pretty much sums it up. Also we are currently working on completely new forum and mainsite so there is no point investing too much on this old board.
