This is probably a weird thing to make a thread about, but it's refreshing to take a look around here and see the board not flooded with spam threads and spam users. I don't know how much of it is from anti-spam measures, and how much is from the fact that the domain has changed / the forum's been down for a while, but whatever the effort is, here's some applause because it's nice. :D

Now that we have a responsive admin, we actually have useful anti-spam techniques again. It's definitely nice

Spam actually started up again right away when the forums were reopened, but various features we're using now have really helped. There are still a few spammers who manage to register and post, but because new user posts now require approval, even those get blocked from general view.
