    Haha true, I feel like something should be done to confirm that a forum user is human...

    Um... You realize you need a real email to sign up and you need to do a captcha which stops bots...

    Spambots still find a way to get past that though. I read in the news, a while ago, that Google developed this software that can detect the captcha, and it gets it correct like 99% of the time...
    EDIT: This is the latest spambot I've found...

    There isn't any spambots on the Beatle-forum I moderate. The forum has been up longer than this one. Nyeh

    Are we surprised she has a forum based off the Beatles? Nope, it is more expected than unexpected. In other words, it is typical that she moderates those types of servers. -_-

    Lol. For some reason, the link doesn't work. If you click it on ewon's reply, though for some reason it'll work.

    10 years later, Spambots are the only thing that you see on the forums. All other members profile have been erased due to confusion of spambots. Only a few left have survived will they be able to defeat the spambots ? IDK but if ever I would like @Shadow_Riolu to be one of them.

    The "there" in WRD's post can be found at http://forum.dashnet.org/
    We are periodically faced with onslaughts of spambots
