The forums have been converted, after a long process, to newer software based on phpBB.
Currently, we are running with phpBB 3.0b5 now. Yes, this is beta software, and will be upgraded to final release, but it will function for now.
This conversion was brought about in an attempt to combat spam. The new software should work fine for us.
It will be required that you request a new password to log in, as your old passwords will not function. The ibForums used a different encoding method for their passwords than the current phpBB software. After requesting a new password (this is an automated processs), you may feel free to change it back to whatever you want.
Also note, there will be plenty of changes occurring as I have not copied all the settings over from the old forums.

That's good to here. So finally no more spam? or just a brief break? just kidding, I don't know what ppl are talking about when they say: "there's spam on the forums", becuase I never see any.

1. This topic is rather dead
2. He meant spam bots. When you see a user that just registered and posted something like "Hey I was looking through your site and I found another one just like it www.tubgirl.com go there now", that's a spam bot.
By the way: I'd recommend against going to that link.
