Discussion Boards

Originally published at Now Is A Long Time Too. You can comment here or there.

There’s been some movement on the discussion boards at In Ranelagh. This is rather gratifying, since I’ve done nothing whatsoever to promote them. I’d like to keep the momentum going, though, so if you’ve anything to contribute (there’s a thread singing the praises of Hobarts there at the moment) please do drop by, register, and leave a few words.

And I’ll get down to a long session of deleting spam profiles from it as soon as I can. Anyone know any good tricks to keep phpBB boards spam-free?

Over on the IrishGaming.Com forums I recently turned on the "moderator must approve new members" option. So I get emailed automatically when someone creates a new user account. Currently the spam users outweigh the real users and it's fairly easy to determine which is which. So I delete all the crap every couple of days - Takes ten minutes.

Primitive, I know. But functional.
