It's been a ghost town for years now, but I've just finished cleaning out 30,000 pr0n spam posts, so it's safe to revisit and browse the threads.
I have to keep it permanently closed because its security features are pathetic but it's fun to look through the old stuff Grin
I know you'll recognise some of the names too! Maybe I should create a special sig or member graphic for those people.

*update - well the spam was a daily cleanup battle, I simply deleted the forum. Sad to see it go but I guess we all gotta move on  Cry  Grin Bingbong

So the maintenance of a forum is no easy task I imagine?

I know you've been working hard on the preventative measures of making sure that everyone that joins is actually a human being and not some advert site.

Is the SMF circuit a lot easier to handle in those respects?

it is much easier with SMF. The simple process of entering the letters and numbers (from the random image generator) at registration is enough to filter out all the spambots. Invisionfree didn't have any of that, which is why we had the daily task of manually filtering spambots from legit registrations. Apparently, invisionfree's new forum software (zetaboards, I think it's called) has anti-spam measures, but I'm glad to have SMF finally installed now.. it's something I've been meaning to do for a couple of years.

Haha, I remember that one. One of my friends posted a link on his website to a site called "biteycastle.com" and I went to it, and it looked pretty cool. I ended up going back a few days later, and there was a "forum" section, so I went to that and joined.

Hah, well that brings back a memory.  Once mistyped biteycastle and stumbled upon the spamhole, wrote this in an invisionfree thread.


Spambots

Beware the Spambots there coming for you
they'll ruin your life! Theres nothing you can do!
Just run far away to the true bitey castle
Its new unhatched system makes these noobs less a hassle
The Spambots are coming there very enraged
But if you ask me, their creators deranged!
But we managed to lock them! Keep them in a cage.
With the newbie thread as their only stage.
The Spambots are coming! But oh don't you worry!
Our moderators will best them in a hurry!
With Adam leading they'll be killed with fury.
Just to dance on their graves, thieir accounts we will bury.
The Spambots are coming. Don't flee for your life!
They cant cause us trouble, or give us much strife!
They come in at a dash,
but are gone in a flash!
Because with his mighty fist
Their skulls Adam did bash!
So chat, stay and post!
Biteycastle's the most!
Let it be your host,
And at the Spambots well joust!

This would be a great spot to say something important.
Splee!
