Folks I am doing the best I can to delete spam posts. There needs to be a better system to block spammers from registering, but that is not in my realm of capability. Suggestions may be needed.

Try running the latest version of the Bulletin Board software. The newer versions have better spam fighting features. It looks like you are running an old version.

We are working the issue. The STA does not own this forum we help manage the Forum. Hang in there. We are working the issue.

Whew! That was a bombardment! I think what happens is that question at registration gets cracked and wham, the flood of automated posts begin. Thanks for being patient as I cleaned it up.

I've changed the question to something more difficult (but can be found with a little research or knowledge of Daniel Boone) and have started monitoring registrations.

The board definitely needs an upgrade to the latest phpBB. What kind of features do want to keep or add? It would be a big jump with a lot more options, something I'd probably want to tackle of the quiet of Christmas.
