Welcome to Spammer's Forums

Welcome to Spammer's Forums! This is the forum where you can post your spam with no threat that it will ever be removed. Of course it probably will not be read either but that is of no consequence. It used to be a forum dedicated to bicycling but since the administrator has decided to neglect it, you can spam all you want. There are only a few die-hard cyclists who still post here anymore to get in your way, but I am certain that they will give it up soon and you spammers will have it all to yourselves. Enjoy!

I'm in complete agreement, and what is worse is that some of the members have volunteered to help in getting rid of it and have been ignored.

TheDarkLord

Is that really surprising? If the owner cares, he would have done something about the spam with or without members' help. The reason the spam is ignored is the same reason why members' suggestions/volunteering has been ignored.

In the feedback section tehre is a thread on setting up a replacement. We should seriously consider this because I don't think the site will survive another spamfest like December.

I agree...but what other site/forum could be used??

This used to be one of the first sites I checked out in the morning, now I only do it when I get extremely bored because all it is is spam. I find it depressing. I know I didn't exactly contribute a lot, but I think this forum has died, and I doubt I will be back. So long, and may all your rides be great!

The sad part is that this is not a new phenomenon in here, and that STILL nothing is being done. maybe the admins/owners want it to die so they can find something else to do with their lives...obviously running an internet forum is not their forte'.

bikeforums.net is down for a while due to database problems, maybe if enough people post threads here, we can at least bump the spammers from the top of the page for a while...

At least until the bots discover that they need to repost.

Why is there no virtually no spam in the regional sections of 'The Bike Cafe'?

Those are not part of the forum. They are Usenet groups and cyclingforums is acting as a gateway. You can access the same groups with Google.

but aren't 'rec.bicycles.misc' and 'rec.bicycles.tech' also part of USENET? Both of those are loaded with spam

Maybe the 'bots' figure the regional sub-forums of USENET aren't big enough
