A while back I wrote about the SPAM problems with the Internet Marketing Forum. Meanwhile I researched the phpBB community and found several solutions to the problem.

This weekend I have to take the forum offline to do extensive work and move the entire forum to another web host.

The new forum will have a new layout and also enhance security. New ad-ons will be installed as well.

The forum will be by invitation only. Invitations will be extented to Power Blog members. This will completely stop all the bots that automatically register names.

Increasing the security, only registered members will be able to view profiles. Email addresses will be encrypted so mail bots have no way to ready email addresses.

As you can see, this is a lot of work and during this time, no new posts or registrations can occur. Therefore the forum will be locked down.

You will receive an email when the forum is back open again.

Once again, this is major work on the forum to improve security and crack down on SPAM. Hopefully you will enjoy the new forum.

Take care,

Peter
