Click on "memberlist" then change sort order from "ascending" to descending" then click "sort". Note how many requests there are to join the forum from today alone. Mark does a great job.

I had a bit of a time getting on here but after e- mailing Mark he promptly got me registered and apologized explaining he has to weed out 500 spammers a month! Yes, he's doing a good job. My e- mail account was brand new because the old one got hacked and I can't access it anymore. Sent a letter to all my friends saying I was stranded in London send money. My guess is that is what slowed me.

this spambot thing is becoming worse across several forums.hippocket forums recently changed the way we log in to prevent these morons/bots or whatever they're called(I can think of a few names,but we can't use rude language)
Just what do these morons hope to gain from these activities?
cheers Col
