:lol:

There aren't many new accounts though. They were mostly spectators.

Maybe they were preparing for ultra spam - imagine they all were able to sign up and ransack the place :shock;

I was looking at the first bit of the thread subject: It sometimes looks like a message of sorts. Might it/they be taunting us?

Those sneaky little bastards. I went to sleep at 5:15!!

They actually waited all night until I logged off. :lol:

Why/how do people from Bangladesh have computers?

I have moderator experience 8-[ :lol:

I don't think it's possible to link the article comments to the forum then IIRC :-k

They probably go out and buy them.

What measures were put in place?

They probably don't even care about advertising anymore, just a personal feud with martyB. :lol:

OK NOW IT'S PERSONAL!

I was responsible for the most users ever online from when I BROKE AMY WINEHOUSE'S DEATH! You BASTARD FUCKING SPAMBOTS I'LL KILL YOU!









;)

Go for it!

Maybe we can set up a fund for a PMC to go out and hunt them down.

First page on the site:

CMS built for Communities: Our new Content Management System was designed to enable your community members to easily create content and cross-publish between your forums, blogs, and site articles.

\:d/

Was looking at it for my sadly now iced (thanks suckley) WSR forum/community.

Can CMS work with smartphone apps? Do you know of apps/sites that have that functionality?

I'd definitely pay a few bob, or more for a decent FFT app without Google ads cluttering up the screen space.

The CMS from memory is for the bloggers to upload their blogs. It has nothing to do with the forums and the crossing over with the articles. vBulletin can't do that and basically the entire website, and forums will have to be done from scratch.

Its not going to happen so no point in keep bringing it up. Its a massive job and there are other priorities in Haymarket atm one would think.

The forums are some Frankenstein code all mixed together to give us what we have and have it linked into the forums. Its all unique and not some out of the box solution, so to speak.

Just keep holding the line in your foxholes and trenches and we'll defeat the Bot o' Spam enemy if we band together!!!11!

The ones that hit WF this morning started literally 5 minutes after I'd shut the computer off and walked out the door. I think we have a snitch...

It just proves they are not bots but people employed to spam forums to try and get hits to their warez

Well if you need any help, I'm currently at UTC -5 so I could do a bit spring cleaning while you're away.

Nah we are just going to change how things happen around here. The last mod online will lock the entire forum down when he leaves, just like at work :lol:

:lol: Afro's posting rate would be halved.

We can't all lead boring 9-5 lives...

Would it be that difficult to embed a feed to v-bulletin as the comments section for each article? There's got to be more than one way to skin that cat, surely.

:lol:
That whole page was hilarious!

I'd like to also thank the mods who did a great job cleaning everything up after the mass attacks that took place recently. :cool:

Trying to take the positives out of all these attacks, some of the team names make our A-League team names like Roar, Glory and Fury look semi-respectable. Tennessee Volunteers vs Alabama Crimson Tide

Must be a womens team...

State League, WF and Performance all have spam threads. Dunno if there's more to come or not.

They're getting cheeky. ia00011 and ia00013 sign up last night and post, no sign of ia00012, who signs up this morning and posts in WF.

BAN BANGLADESH.

Whichever countries you're blocking, I don't think it's working.

:shock:

They hit WF pretty bad this morning

They smashed the old record they set last week.

You assume that it's spambots...

Has the war been won? I haven't spotted any spam bots in the last week or so.
