Install a mod that disallows posting of images until you have over 10 posts. This should avoid spambots like the one I saw today, and shouted Freenhult to remove it, from signing up and posting porn images.

Just update to a current IPB forum.

What kind of question is that? No, I am not going to pay to update someone elses forum. I just said one possible action that could be taken to prevent spambots from posting whatever they post. You know, another option.

If we were to update the forum software, we would much prefer to use an F/OSS application.

Just asking because I'm sure Beatles and whoever else might even consider upgrading can't afford the newest IPB out of their pockets.

Yeah, well I'm nice so I mentioned that this site has a lot of hosting problems to a friend of mine who does the cheapest hosting I have ever seen online, so once Beatles gets back to me, if he's interested, it should be a little more affordable.

That's the first you've said that directly to me.

We're fine with our current hosts. Of course, I am open to options -- PM me if you want to recommend something.
