Thanks Johnny! The site sure has been jammin'! Sorry to say though that the number showing was also reflecting the new spammers that have recently been trying to get in to post their lovely goodies for you all to see. But we wont let them in...hehe

We have on an average been deleting over 100 registrations a day this month, but dont worry...........
we have ways of knowing whos spam and whos not when validating registrations.

The good side of this means that the http://www.coloradoprospector.com/ website and forum is definately being indexed in the search engines.

You should look at adding recaptcha http://www.google.com/recaptcha to the sign up form. It is highly effective at removing spam but user friendly enough that it doesn't create a major hastle for real people trying to sign up.

I can give you a hand if you need it.

Thanks everyone and thank you for offering to help out winterstick, that's very kind of you.
Actually, Googles recaptcha feature is already employed on this board but either Google needs to re-update it, or they have intentionally turned it off to prove a point of how many spammers there are on the net......this has been a very hot current topic on the net this year.
At anyrate, we have to manually screen each to make sure we don't have spammers running amok on the board, but as Mrs.CP said above....we have ways of knowing who's real and who's a spammer. It's alot of work but very well worth it to keep the community clear of BS spammer crap.

Keep on passing the word around everyone, the ColoradoProspector website is the place everyone (including the spammers) want's in on!!
