does anybody have coomer's paypal?
I'm thinking we get together a collection, $2-5$ donations to someone reliable, and then paypal gift him the money saying "here, this should help keep the site open for a while, so PLEASE fix the spambot problem"

It's only being done to get Coomer's attention so he can address issues that need resolved.

All Coomer needs to do is give the current mods administrative control. 5 minutes of work for him?

timmy2 My apologies that he has spammed your site you are on, (I saw a screenshot of the threads he created). A better approach for you would have been to join and pm a mod about the issue & we would take further action. Thank you though for the contact notes for Coomer.
Timmyface Not a good move, what you should have done was created >>1>> thread in their website discussion section outlining the issue and wanting contact with Coomer, but instead you've created another mess for a mod/admin to clean up.

New tactic: I say we take the same collection but rather than pay Coomer, we hire a computer hacker and tell them to have fun.
Seriously, I'm trying to decide if I'm glad they figured out how to start new threads. At least now I can tell which real threads have new posts...

I could fix the spam problem if Coomer didn't want 10k for the damn site.
Going through his old posts, most of the site is written in PHP but some of the updates are in Rails, so we definitely need somebody that knows those two types of code.

There are a few types/forms of spambots we have, which post differently, depending where they are from.
1. posts 3-4 posts or new topics
2. posts 6-10 new topics
3. posts 200+ posts in any thread

Don't mind all the testing **** that's on there if you look
Actually you won't see much, you have to do a capture code than post an introductory thread to see everything

If desired...
I can purchase a simliar domain, or redirect off my current domain to a sub domain.
PHP forums aren't rocket science. I could also easiely transfer alot of the items from this site.
If I get enough interest, and it doesn't feel like we're stabbing anyone...I'll do it. I'm tired of the spam, and lack of care for the site.
This will be a real domain.

unless you feel like paying a company $ to rank a new site to get it to the top of the list on a Google search. There will be a decrease in new membership.
Its a minor inconvenience, these spammers. More for the Mods than for us. I dont see why we cant just wait an hour for someone to clean it up, and then everything is back to normal.
