I noticed that there are now 10 replies to Neu's "Sorry about being gone" post on the home page.
Apart from several pleas from a recently reinstated member, these appear to be all hawking "something."
Is this a harbinger? Can the spambots (word?) get through to the regular forums as was done to such annoyance back in late '06 into early '07?
Chad - this onerous onslaught occurred before you were a member. GTSSportCoupe and myself were deleting dozens of these posts daily at one point, and we gained at least 500 new "members" during this time.
Can they not be removed/prevented from posting on the Home page? Maybe just remove the ability to post Comments to your notices there?
Worth pursuing.

oh woops. No, I forgot to turn comments off. Crap. Yeh, it's cutenews php that I use for the php on the home page, and no, it isn't linked to the forums at all. There isn't a way for spam bots to get through the forums.

Thanks - I was worried we'd have to endure that again.
So - you'll eliminate the Comments section on that page? I was also afraid that a prospective member might click on them and be put off about joining.
