The tedium remains the deleting of the bogus forum accounts which slow down the forum database. About 450 are being set up daily. 8-0
FFS why? If any of us want to buy some dodgy viagra or to webcam with a Nude Russian Teen then surely we'll do it with the site of our choice without being distracted from matters Boinc by the spam these arseholes want to post!
Anyhoo dealing with the bogus accounts requires about 4 minutes on gmail each day to check that they aren't real, then another 10 min or so using the mass delete option in phpBB2.0 to delete them. This would be fine if my circumstances and my psychological make-up allowed for such regularity & discipline. As it is I just let the number of bogus accounts exceed 20,000. Some major deleting has trimmed this back to 17,043 and 20 min per day over the next week might get the figures back to 3 digits. Unless I can't be bothered!
The triumph is our continuing out crunching of UBT. We are 2-4 years from regaining our UK #1 slot but as thing stand it will happen sooner or later!
