I'm no internet expert, but have a question on a more serious note.
Are these links forum specific or could my computer be targeted as I would really want any of that stuff on my machine.

Can I have a forum without so much spam in it?

If you have found spam please click on the report button, that flags it for CJFP and I and makes it much easily to find. Martin has given the Mods a useful little tool that will not only delete spam in a thread it will delete all the other posts by the spammer and ban them................. when we read any post we have a button on every post
that allows us to get rid of any member's posts if we want, so just you lot behave!

I've just taken a look at the new members list - today and yesterday 3-4 pages of what look like computer generated user names that are just gobble-di-gook and all from China. Looks like some sort of bot is creating new members every 3-4 minutes for a couple of hours at a time

are the majority 'gmail' accounts?
chances are that you wouldn't then get a successful email activation. not sure what benefit this serves?

I think it leaves cookies in your computer if you open it? Is it worth deleting histories and cookies, I am not sure!
