In case you notice the drop in members I've deleted all accounts with 0 posts that haven't logged in during 2007/2008.

Wow, there are still a lot of noticable spam accounts: http://forum.osdev.org/memberlist.php?mode=&sk=f&sd=d

Some notable ones:
JungleTar == UID/3105
youngteens == UID/2725
MpgFilms == UID/3312
youngboy == UID/3449
Nikkytas == UID/2439 (This guy still has a spam post!)
Traktogun == UID/2560 (Likely a spammer of some sort, joins a lot of unrelated forums with the same information.. Source)
xxxmasterhapen == UID/2714
CiberEspana == UID/2701
Warriourr == UID/3124
MRniceGuyz == UID/2480
iTGUYzK == UID/2474 (Alias of MrniceGuyz?)
...

Clearly the list goes on..

I deleted the one post you pointed out. The spam accounts should start decreasing now. So far I've noticed a decrease in spam account sign-up since switching to phpBB3. If people start clicking on the Report Post button for any spam we can made sure all the accounts have 0 posts and are easier to delete.

awesome,
that's alot of cleaning up.

Now the database can work a little smoother. =)

how about ReCaptcha for registering (certainly not for post sending. just for registering)
http://recaptcha.net/
and you'd help digitize books!

Brilliant idea! I'd never heard of that.

only see a phpBB2 mod. While it'd be nice to help (it's a good idea) we don't have spam right now so the less changes (and me hacking on php) the better.
