what iffff
you just abandoned this generally chillin forum and made a new generally chillin forum(#2)
so like the old one would just be where all the spam ends up and we wouldnt have to read it or look at it or whatev. and generally chillin #2 could be where the real posts go.
good idea? yes? no?

nah man thats so lazy but it is a true stoner look on the whole situation (im stoned right now)
so basically what im thinkin is we should just ignore it for now until some mods can learn some code to fix it or just chill with it now and find a solution alittle later.
dude i dunno what im talkin about so ima stfu

Or, we could make a Chillin#2 but put it at the BOTTOM of the entire list of threads. Instead of being at the top, you'd scroll all the way down to see it.

^^^The above^^^ would not work, spam is an automated message sent to a forum from a robot posing as a human that automatically signs up to each forum. A robot will not look at each section and think.. hey they have a spam section! post!

all it does i think is post in the first unlocked section on the forum automatically, so the spam section would work theoretically if it is just put at the top of the section list

See, I MAY have been slightly stoned when I suggested that...
But yeah, you're so right man.

Make an Off topic section
Make a trash Section.
Make a 30 second post timelimit
for every 50 Posts get a picture, and you have to type what letters are in the picture.
My friend owns a forum.. and im a staff memeber so... yea..
you guys notice that we need a new logo header? and a new theme...you should get a black/green theme...
remodel the whole site lol.. you know IPB boards do alot better than SMF,or phpbb?

Well animal said that he forgot the password so he could install shit and do stuff with the site so I doubt anything would be happening anytime soon. I don't really mind the spam anymore, it's just something I learned to ignore.

wow haha, he forgot the password for the FTP thing im guessing. i'm sure an email to whoever he buys hosting space from could help out with that?

He's not the one who pays for the site, it's someone else and he said he couldn't get in contact with him lately. I remember reading a couple of his posts a little while ago saying that.
