• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    PHPBB3 Addons and Spammers

    All my forums run on vBulletin, so unfortunately I can't help you with that part of it as I have never used PHPBB in that way. It might be worth putting a post onto one of the PHPBB mod forums, in VB adding this question is trivial so I imagine that there is also an easy way to do it with PHPBB

    The majority of spammers use scripts to mass register these you can stop by making your registration process different to the default. Doing this would require somebody to create a custom script for your site and most won't bother. On my forum I have added a question/answer - that a human can...

    Trying out Adsense

    Forget about the [H] rules as this will only result in thread deletion and maybe account banning here. The request for "clicks" in the post is against Adsense TOS and will result in the termination of the Adsense accounts.
