I just wanted to give you a heads up that the MTBS forums have been completely password protected - even when linked to from other forums.
You can still directly link to threads - but the system will prompt for an MTBS username and password to see it.
I tried to avoid doing this, but the SPAM was getting terrible. Despite having three admins plus myself going through the forums deleting messages and false members, regular messages were getting through.
The messages weren't the simple "Buy Viagra" kind either. Our forums were getting filled with pictures of naked people doing naked things - and that has no place there.
We are still working on getting a single database for forum members and MTBS members to prevent the double registration - but this will do for now.

Glad to hear it. I was getting tired of sifting through all that stuff to find the right posts. :(
