I cant vote? It goes to error?

IIRC we had spammers actually joining then posting for a bit.. which is what teh anti spambot stopper helps to keep down.

I agree I dislike it, but I dislike spam on the board more.

 It's not to imply that the posters would spam the place....it's those darned penis pill places and the like,  that wreak havoc.  (I have to fill them out too)

It's a wee nuisance, but after a while it becomes second nature.

I couldn't vote either, but my answer is Yes, it keeps out spam.

What I find FAR more annoying than the anti-spam blocker, is not being able to see the thread once the reply window comes up.  Half the time I have to abort my post and go back to see what I was talking about.

I Voted Yes it stops spam. but so does having basic features disabled such as Url linking and Photos until a poster has a set number of posts behind them. I feel the spambot stopper should Have a minimum of 50 posts, then the Spam Bot stopper  is disabled for prominent posters proven to be part of this board. But no clue what the flooder time limit should be.

PC. Russ I too have done that numerous times. got to go back &amp;  review what the hell was being talked about cause I forgot while in the middle of my reply.... i have the attention span of a gnat at time... ohh look ...

I don't mind having two windows open &gt; =P =D
You see I tend to have two windows open all the time, Gaming it's nice to have a second window open to the quest manual notes pages and things inventory weapons and whatever else. check  current prices on something while working on something else post to two forums at the same time.  I like working on two things at once, it helps me from becoming to bored &amp; I get bored with some things.

I am not on it that often. cause as you said, it is so boring. Not enough to do these days that keeps me occupied, so I find myself reading the forums more often, on here, over at DATW and on DV . most of the time I use both monitors for gaming... time for a nap.

while i thought you owned some of it......you are one of the head mods

 LMAO where do you get this information son, cause I am not a Mod on DATW nor DV or a mod on DS... I own nothing in stock or options... If I did I would be making a penny or two every week off the Google adds...And that sure is money I could seriously use being on the unemployment line right now.

I wonder how much money DS &amp; DV make off Google add sense and other things... I think DATW is add free still, so they probably are not making money from adds they maybe making some cash from hot-linking.

I  am currently so strapped for cash I even had to cut my Starbucks down to 1 or 2  venti whatever's per month with many sacrafices to afford it.

So DDD out of sheer curiosity, just how on earth do you surmise I am a Head Mod On DATW ?

    I have not and will not ask if they want me to mod they can just do it. As for why I think its clear to all who go there....not all my doing but when you can not ban sh** you are better off not looking after the place. I would suggest that all other mods there stop looking after the place untill the can ban again.
