How to deal with annoying forum members who spam this wonderful site with pointless and irritating topics such as this one?
Well I don't know. Ideas?

With roughly 150 members, I doubt those who have shown interest in joining are the type that are going to become an issue.
With that said, a few mods would help keep the forums proper when Mobius isn't on, ( unless Wolf's stepping in on that and if so, +1 for him)

At some point this site may get spammed with adverts as bots know how to get past a capcha as generated by a phpBB forum. I know as I used to run one a phpBB forum for a pbp rpg game. I solved that issue by coding a change to the phpBB register code to ask a question what is the 2nd letter in Dragon and that stopped all the bots from auto registering and spamming.
Still having some moderators is good as well...
