I just realized
Maybe we should stop putting links to the new forum all over the place. Spambots follow links -- that's how they find new targets.

What if freelance comes back? It's not too good of a chance.. But you know. I guess PMs could work, I still check the forum. I'll remove all the links from my posts that I remember making.

Good idea. However we can put links with a broken symbol like when we put email adress on the forum by typing @ instead of putting the symbol.

There are still links on the wiki. Should they be deleted? Someone should make a sticky thread with a meaningful title in big capital letters which gives the spam-protected address of the new forum and its reason. You don't need to use your memory, just search the forum for "jconserv". This currently finds only one post by Atomic. (And now probably also one by me, but it does not reveal enough information for the bots.)

I've been PMing the new people that post the URL of the new forums, that's how we got that guy who was asking how to add monsters in the programming forums.

There is no risk if we put a link with written DOTnet instead of the normally written link, right ? It should be easier for any new comers.

Ah yes, good idea.
