I have only recently started accessing some web fora, but I've noticed that some of those "powered by phpBB" are vulnerable to spamming, whereas the news groups seem to be less so. For example, the "python-forum" has nearly lost it's "General" forum to spammers. Maybe the experts know better engines, better ways to set up a forum, or better ways to administer them after they're up, but it is a concern. -- Bill Wood
