    Default Interesting statistic

    Just checked some figures...there have been 24,001 attempted signups by spammers blocked in the last four and a half months. I love my anti-spam software

    Why do these spammers want to even sign up here? I don't get it.

    I'm guessing spammers will try to sign up just about anywhere. It IS hard to imagine what they think they'd get out of it. I'm so glad the anti-spam software works, and that it makes you so happy, Andrew! And thanks again for all you do.

    I am real happy that there are no spammers on here. I really dislike the crooks that hack your email accounts and spam all your contacts.

    That is definitely gratifying to know the program is working. Are you using cpcha or recapcha? If any of you Don't know what capcha is, look it up on wiki. Recapcha is even more cool.

    Wow, imagine how many members we would have if we didn't have that software! Probably worlds largest support group... with everyone recommending sneakers and other random stuff... I bet many of them would also advertise drugs, so they'd fit right in
