short story: I read a post here in the introduction thread about "bus recently being short on new member"; got curious, googled for other self injury boards (which ranks higher on google than bus), looked at the memberlists of another board and of bus -
sorted it by joined date - descending.
now my interest was no more in "do new members pick other boards due to google" but in what the heck is that ???
Because on the page with the most recent bus members, one part has entered "spammer" in the location field ... pretty obvious
the other part of those has links to obviously sexual adult content ... I haven't followed the links, but the names of the links are telling it and are pretty offensive...
I dunno what can be done about, but I thought I'd tell about this pretty random observation.
Guess registration-bots are causing this ... I haven't registered since three years, so I dunno if that's implemented here - but a bot-protection is something worth thinking about, if not implemented yet (and possible on this kinda board)

EDIT: And aside from the issue of the content prolly being offensive to some people - unless you have a good antivirus protection I would abstain from "testing" those links in the profiles !!
