So I have read the forum rules and I understand that we need 15 posts to start a new thread. However in the rules it says we can start one in this section without having 15 posts. This site will not allow me to start one in the new member section though. Am I missing something?
Years ago I ran a small forum. It was overrun with spambots, sh*theads, who-knows-from-where ne'erdewells etc etc. And they were persistent.
On the one hand, 3 or 4 may be enough, BUT, if you (me included) are having a tough time staying "committed" to 15 posts... then the drive-by spambots have probably given up long ago, OR they are picked off by the admins for posting non-sensical sh*t. Be happy toyota-4runner.org is NOT overrun by spambots.
