For anyone who's ever wondered...

...why I format the forums to not allow guests to post, here is your reason:

The forum shown above was only created less than 12 hours ago and recieved that amount of spam in that short time period.

I wonder how Family Friendly would feel about some of that content

I had a guest book on my site for awhile but I kept getting similar posts so I got rid of it. I could have password protected it but none of the people I wanted posting to it were so I it is gone. I can believe you had that much. What I don't understand is how they find you so easily.

lol, moaning about a 5 character limit, rofl.

I don't know how they do it tkdlady but the bots have been all over all my sites for over a year now. If I don't lock things down, I can look forward to literally, thousands of links to nefarious sites.

It actually took me an entire weekend once to delete all the crap from Hobby-Universe when that site was online.

I believe it. It is sad that they have to got to such lengths to attract business. I hate it. It makes doing things online so much more difficult.

That's why I want to do as much as I can with my corner of the net and actually make something good and useful of it.

I think you have a great start and a lot of wonderful people behind you.
