The forum continues to get spam post, this is going to continue to happen because of the way the forum is set up. Things to do to help prevent this are to require account activation by requiring a valid email account and sending an email with a link that the new member must click to be able to participate in the forum. You should also set up a captcha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha) as part of the sign up process to stop people using computers to auto generate accounts.

If you need any help doing this I would volunteer.

Thank you for the info and your offer of help. We are looking at a more robust method of fooling spam bots and hope to have this installed in the next few days. In the meantime e-mail address verification on registration has been enabled.
