Is obvious that we just updated the forum to the lastest version, let see what the spam bots can do now.

hopefully this will help out with the spam bots. Hopefully you are taking advantage of the new phpbb features aswell.

they are search engine bots used for indexing, google uses them to help document whats on the internet. They can be blocked / restricted. Dont worry they wont post.

THey have one major issues, they use up a ton of bandwidth.

nice work guys... i feel totally disoriented now due to the new layout but that is normal with such changes... all users need a " break in" period till they get used to it... most important thing is the spam, i wish this is over by now

"The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: timing belt"
:roll: :smt093

Please, we need a better search function!

I find that using a search engine like google, just enter "site:daewootech.com" and what you are looking for.
