@al3x,
I agree with you, but I am reluctant to criticize the Hasleo Software Company of employing a vulnerable, old Forum software program to host their website. I don't think they had the money for more modern Forum software.
In the meantime, close control of spam posting can, at least, lessen the contamination of this site with spam, a reason I thought it was critical to have Forum Rules. @admin has honestly admitted that he is not an expert on this Board software, or any other, I presume.
Hasleo Software is still getting established as a major player in the backup software market. That this Forum is now attracting spammers, is, in a perverse way, a recognition that Hasleo Software is succeeding in its mission. These are "early days." Input from members like you and @Froggie are indispensable. I too, am just trying to help.
Let's all work together. Their backup software, and the effort they have put into it, deserve our commendation and support!
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
