hi everyone, well I bought my own server at yahoo smallbusiness, and it gave me the option to create an online phpbb forum, so I did. For an year or so, the forum worked great with lots of activity. But these last weeks I'm getting a huge amunt of spam messages... I tried blocking their IPs, changin the forum setting so only I can authorize new members, making the forum only avialable for registred users, etc... But even if I block so they can't write any messages, they still create their accounts and I have to erase everything manually... pain in the @ss, time-consuming really!!! I was also thinking if there's any other forum server other than phpbb?? Dunno, maybe I can swap my sql database with myAdmin or something?? I don't know, whatever works, but please tell me.. Is there any way I can have a clean forum without having to erase 10 to 20 porn spammers every day?? Please help, I'm getting frustrated but don't want to close it all, I have 40 good, active members
