Hi All, I had to suspend the site due to spammers attacking it. The site may go up and down a bit if I need to work more on the problem.
Thanks!

It's a real issue with Simple Machines, unfortunately. Give this site a try, it might help to keep them at bay: http://www.stopforumspam.com/

I am already using their software. It works great to keep the spammers out of the forum, but I was still sending a welcoming message to the spammers and that is what my ISP complained about.
