Spring clean

Post by paolo »

If anyone is wondering why the number of registered users just dropped by about 20, I just had a good cleanout of all bad registrations.

These are usually automated registrations done randomly across forums using this forum's software (of which there are many), where the registrant puts a link to a porn site in the profile. I'd missed a few but now the unrelenting tide of filth has been cleaned up. 8)

I know I'm going to look silly asking this but.....where do we see the number of registered users? :cry:

At the bottom of the page there is a box 'Who is online' that tells you all this sort of stuff.

There is a new annoying thing out there I think to take advantage of Blogger.com and create poker, casino, or porn "blogs". These blogs are really just liks through to their site and when you use the next blog function on your blog you don't get someone elses random blog but a super stupid trap casino site or the like. I keep getting all of these referrer sites to my blog that are these types of sites. Anybody else seeing random referrers to their blogs or similar?
