Before you lot start trying to rebuild the forums, you need to stop all these bots and spammers. If anyone visits the forum, all they see are a bunch of adverts.

I'd love for the forums to start popping again but this is getting out of hand...

Sorry maybe spam is the wrong word but regardless, do you want this to be a forum with a community or a forum for advertisements?

The fact that the first three I linked are from the same person, all promoting this T-Time person is that not spam?

Alongside that, bringing back dead forums from like 3 years ago should be an instant ban or at least a warning imo.

No-one wants to visit a forum that looks like it just bred with a spamming rabbit. I can help clean up if your short of staff cos the forum was decent at one point, made me spend quite a bit of time here. Would like to see it brang back to its former glory...
