    Adbots

    Noble has very kindly dealt with the siege of adbots from which we've been suffering. With any luck, there shouldn't be many more around for a while. Back to business as usual.

    Not as bad though. This one actually had to type a message. I don't think there's any way to get rid of them for good. Even big forums get them sometimes. Silly internet is turning into one big advert.

    There is always the possibility that a user will create an account then give it over to a bot, and that is unpreventable. I am still researching some more security options.

    I went ahead and set up Akismet for the forums. It is marketed as "the worlds best spam prevention". What it does is anytime a user with less then 15 past posts creates a new thread it is scanned by the akismet database. It will flag any post it detects as spam for moderation. This should prevent a lot of automated bots.
