Rawr! It's the Super Perfect Awesome Message Bulletin Board!
I've gone ahead and created another general discussion bulletin board, but with a bit of a twist: instead of trying to keep spammers and spambots out, I'm doing my damnedest to get them to register! Why? Well, I've got a custom plugin that will help track the countries that each spammer is from, and the basic stats are displayed publicly for the benefit of others.
Is it useful? Probably not, but it'll be kind of interesting to see this data live.
I've gone with the free http://www.spambb.tk domain, since it's at least a TLD and I don't have the money yet to buy a real one.
Don't be afraid to register, as the bigger the board, the more likely I'll get spam!
I'm starting out simple, with a web design forum, a general topic forum, and the site news/management forum.
Once again, the forum is at http://www.spambb.tk
You should post feedback there. I've even started the thread in the critique forum for you, and registration is as simple as filling out the form! No checking emails and making sure they're getting through, and no waiting for some doofus to activate your account, just fill out the form and start posting!
Edit: Yes, I know that right now I have nothing in the Spam Statistics page. That's because at the time of writing this I don't have any spammers yet.
