Just spent a while going through the forum stats and member list.

It'll let me prioritise basic stuff such as posts by number made / date registered etc. which helps but still had to randomly click on member profiles for more info.

One puzzling thing is that awful lot of joiners are showing as having never signed in again since initial registration, which I suppose can be looked at as a good thing if their purpose wasn't legit. Flip side is that trend's probably not so good for forum traffic stats.

I know absolutely nothing about how forums are created / programming... even what the correct terminology is!

Our forum has a link at the bottom to Elkarte.net

As a complete novice all of the following info. means nothing to me but did see bullet points such as -  Integrated video embedding for youtube, vimeo and dailymotion / Drag and drop file attachments / Improved Anti Spam measures which sound vaguely relevant maybe?

Looks like there's also a dedicated forum for people using their set up.

Cut'n'paste from the link...

in the new members say hi section,
there seems to be a pornspam high tide, over the last few days.
and sometimes it takes some of them, until an admin comes by.

the solution could probably lie in the filters, that you have there,
but no harsh measures, please ;-)
