I'm NOT talkin bad n anyone, just curious:

Why does extremecoast.com have so many "Bots" which get on the site and so many spammers posting bad links and corpusfishing.com doesn't seem to have these issues? I don't know much about computers so I was hoping to learn about that one...

I've often wondered the same, but know nothing about that kind of stuff.

spam bots can be a pain. You have to keep your registration challenge fresh to keep them away. They can beat most capture and can easily get by email verification. I keep them off my forum by changing the challenge monthly and having it ask a simple question that a bot doesnt understand.

That's why I didn't upgrade to the same forum Oz has.
