LOL, greeny ~ the vast majority of those "guests" are the "professional" spammers ~ that's
exactly why we require joining to post ~ occasionally a "guest" will apply to join ~ but we check all application IP addresses at the
Stop Forum Spam site, which currently has 58,391,131 spammer records in its database ~

*** Edited to add: I have the Stop Forum Spam site on my "favorites" list, so I accessed it to get the full link to make the link clickable in case any of you want to take a look ~ the number of spammer records is current as of the time I accessed the site ~ more are added 24/7 ~ I find the number mind-boggling ~ also, since we went independent from "hosts", you should never see an ad either ~
