Why has this forum become an advertising platform?

[Grizzly]

Can someone tell me that??
It looks like that the moderators and admins are overwhelmed to deal with the flood of Spam or have they already throw in the towel??
It is hard to find a post that really needs help among the hundreds of "junk" posts.

Not overwhelmed, just dis-interested since none of the admins or moderators have logged on here in months. I'm a moderator at https://www.xpforums.com/ and have been banning spammers but looks like the rest of the forums have been abandoned and thus become spammer's paradise.

It may be time to move on and let the forum die.

Sadly, it's been dead since Ian stopped being an active participant.

I added a link to one of my posts and it won’t appear because it’s “awaiting moderator approval” seriously though, how does one become an admin. All we need is for someone to take over. The site is paid for. I didn’t even notice the spam until I looked at the general discussion. It just bots replying to themselves.

If a forum has become an advertising platform, it could be due to factors like monetization efforts, an influx of spam, or a lack of moderation. Forums may allow ads to generate revenue or could be overrun by bots and advertisers. To improve the experience, you could report the issue to moderators or seek alternative platforms with better moderation.

You are a spammer. Cut it out.
