This is just a note to inform you folks that around June 27 (give or take a day or two) we will be performing routine upgrades and maintenance, so the forums may be closed for a few hours. Killean and I will post a notice when we're ready to start rolling....

Lol... It's actually worked remarkably well. Most spammers are in it as a numbers game... Hit as many sites as possible with your url before your shift is over. If someone actually hangs out for more than 10 posts, then they are very likely not to be a run of the mill spammer, and may actually contribute to the site content.

Now, there are those rare morons who jump around from thread to thread posting nonsense remarks in an attempt to escalate their post count to 10 quickly, but they litter up the forum very quickly and are easily noticable. Kind of like a female stripper in an all male prison. Mods simply come in and wipe their mess off the floor and move on pretty quickly.


(I felt I had to support the staff since I don't appear to do that enough )


Happy riding on the motorsickle, mate.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
