When sitting at home, I have extreme difficulti getting anything from this website. It can take, like, two minutes from link click to something actually happening.
On a potentially related note, I thought I'd browse the memberlist,
to see whether there were any names familiar to me, but balked at the
sheer size of the thing. I also noted that there there appears always
to be 20+ unlogged users at any time and a look at recenly added users,
revealed that several...how shall we say.."spammy" names had appeared only
over the past three days - such nicks also dominate the members list.
So, the question is; how hard pressed is the site by address harvesters
and other malignant bots? Maybe over 90% of all members are fakes, which
could be purged. How to keep them out though, without resorting to
manual registration?
