I have a forum which is growing like a weed in terms of member base, it goes up by over 100 people per day, however they are not posting.

They just join and never do anything, I really want to get rid of this because it makes my site look bad with all these non posting members.

Is my forum on a spam list or something?

100 people per day

Do a google on some of the usernames could be spambots, Do a search of the IP addy and find where they are coming from

Post a link to your site and we might be able to advise.

<a href="http://www.bzimage.org" target="_blank">www.bzimage.org</a> is the forum and yeah I tried that but not finding many of them and they are not posting anything so can it be spam bots? whats the point...

You may want to have a think about why they are joining. Are you restricting content to members only, etc.?

Nope, I do have no links till you reach 10 posts mod (keeps away spammers) but thats it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
