Title: New DECWARE forum software
Post by Steve Deckert on 06/30/08 at 04:04:31

We'll I waited as long as I could. The old forum was filtering out 2000+ spam bots per day, but as you are well aware at least 1% somehow logged themselves in and polluted our forum!

I have installed new software for the forum that should correct the problem, if not it has the means to once all the security features are enabled.

Some of the features of the old forum, such as the member map, games, and picture upload helper are no longer with us, but as time goes on I'll either get those older features to work, or replace them with something similar.

I hate spam. Interesting enough, it's no longer porno spam we seem to be inflicted with, but spam promoting drugs.

I will vote for the president who allows each of us to turn in all our spam for credit off our taxes. 1.00 per spam. The Government could then fine the drug companies 2.00 per spam. Since most of us would get money back at tax time from the 1.00 per spam exceeding out tax bill, the drug companies would then be helping to support us instead of the other way around.

I bet it wouldn't take long for the drug companies to find and stop all the people creating this spam if such a law went into effect.

Ahhhh, the good old days 8-) Has almost a calming effect doesn't it?

Some of you will remember the look and feel of the Decware forum years ago, and it's back finally but running in the latest state of the art software.

Yup, this feels right... and look! No more spam. [smiley=choleric.png]

Enjoy!
