I hate to say this and I don't direct it at you solely however everyone needs to understand you can't simply install a forum including a few mods then let it sit and post away. You must upkeep your forum as with anything for example if it's a site you run for your business then it should be considered I dare say like a second house, beach house... you must still upkeep the house and property for regular use on vacations, you can't let it sit and not mow the grass (spam, deletion of spam, bots etc), you must setup something with the water and power company (hosting) otherwise pay monthly in order to enjoy the stay when you their, security system (updates/upgrades) then painting every few years (styles) you must upkeep your forum in the same respect I can't stress that enough .
