I miss the WWW ... and spam bots discussions.
I noticed that the forum automatically redirects to an address without WWW ... and I don't know why, but I miss them
Am I alone in this case ?

Re: I miss the WWW
Think of all the bus traffic that can be saved by omitting the extraneous "www." from all the Internet!toTOW wrote:I noticed that the forum automatically redirects to an address without WWW ... and I don't know why, but I miss them

Now that we have a working forum, those who spent a lot of personal time getting this forum up the last few days are probably catching up on real life tasks. That, and now that it is working, we're less likely to mess with it as not to break it. Updates will be safely and methodically implimented.toTOW wrote:No it's not very important ... but it's not a lot of work.
It's more important to install an AntiBot mod ...

Oh, but there will be more spam, no matter how hard we try to block it. If a simple step can block many of them, it's a good step to take, but it'll never be enough.v00d00 wrote:Thank you Bruce, source of peace and tranquility, for the folding forum.bruce wrote:I've blocked the primary source for the five bots that have posted spams within the past 24 hours. That's better than having to deal with them individually.

This MOD should be good : http://phpbb.mwegner.de/english/phpbb2/ ... stion-mod/
I have the same issue with my phpbb forums : securities included in phpbb is not efficient enough to counter those bots ... and banning email extentions is efficient, but too restrictive in an internationnal forum
These bots can pollute a forum very fast ... and cleaning may become a puzzle
