In case anyones interested about some of the things that go on behind the scenes....
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
One of the roles of admins and mods on any forum is to delete spam. By this I mean there are people who sign up and post a message purely to promote a commerical product. Most of these are viagara, weight loss and stop smoking ---- invariably the subect line is "I found this cool site" ... you then click on the link and they want to sell you viagara etc. (we have only had one foot product related spam)
The registered members who sign up to do this, get deleted. Repeat offenders (and we have had a number) get there IP banned, so they just can not access the forums.
All this takes work and time
How many have been deleted...
The most recent new thread here has 1098 in the URL, yet we only have 908 threads posted - that means 190 threads have been deleted!!! -- ie 17% !!! - most of those were for viagara, weight loss and stop smoking
