very nice layout. You might want to explain a little about what the site is about in the header or something. But the design is nice and the coloring is nice. The site has a very clean and simple look about it which is nice to see.

yea... i have that in mind.
i am planning to add a section called "What is eFervent" under rules/announcements section.

since my domain is more of a brand rather than keywords, i'll have to do that.

also, i need to convey dictionary meaning of "Fervent" to everybody... any idea how to do it??

It is nice,
but it seems to be one of the million of forums on the internet. So probably you could make it somehow special and interesting. I think the default theme is too simple and too 'default'. I would try to find some more interesting theme.

Not bad, but i agree with dannyff that you need to make your forum more unique in order to attract more visitors. As the ads placement, it's all good

One of the first things I noticed is this post http://www.efervent.com/viewtopic.php?t=637

Do you have an auto respond message for spam or something? I have found that most Viagra posts are spam.

Nice clean site though.

Good Luck !

OMG!!
they are so F$$$$g smart!!!

actually, the post you showed was totally normal when it was posted! we all replied it and all was ok.

but, now, as it became old, that member came back and edited it!!

never though they could do this!!!

anyways, i used to delete at least 2 spam posts everyday. The only solution i have now is that now admin verification is necessary for member account activation.

I dont think any spam responder will work.. coz, these are all real humans! they pass visual verification while registering... (or, they have hack to surpass my php script!?!?)

can anybody help me with this BIG problem!! it's really pissing me off!!

I think there are only one or two things you can do.

Start adding mods to your forums.

Start banning ip's

htaccess ?

Code:
 # deny access to evil robots site  rippers offline browsers and other nasty scum
# last line will send them to a  virtual blackhole of fake email addresses
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Anarchie [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^ASPSeek  [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^attach [OR]
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^autoemailspider [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  ^Xaldon\ WebSpider [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Xenu  [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus.*Webster [OR]
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://english-61925045732.spampoison.com  [R,L]



Go here and ask

Thanks man! that ware really helpful.

actually, immediately after i saw your post here, i removed visual conformation at registration coz i came to know that they(bots) were overruling it.

i installed a 'registration key' mod istead.

if you visit registration page here (first you'll have to agree that you are over 13 to go to actual page) you would see that users need to give a registration key (which they have to find by clicking of the link).

This is very much non overruleable because of two reasons:

1) i can modify registration key any time.
2) i can change position of registration key anytime.

for those who want to know more, it is actually called "VIP code mod" or something like that.

Thanks again,
any other suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Wow Twiggy, pretty harsh comments you leave in these forums. I'm not calling anyone here a newbie but, I'm sure the first site you designed was a1 tip top professional quality and xhtml compliant site.

Nice layout. But you need to add topics for discussion or promote your site to directory as to attract visitor.

Not bad, I like the 3D effects.

Maybe you should start on promoting it rather then designing as it is naturally a forum.

@ Sydpix People come here for a review and that's what I give. If they don't want a review don't post asking for one. If you look at other sites I have reviewed when the work is there's and its executed well I will tell them so.

Hey your write my 1st site wasn't grate (2nd, 3rd, 4th weren't to cleaver either). Nor where they XHTML compliant, because when I did my first site xhtml was not even invented. But they were indeed HTML compliant as I coded them all by hand.

BUT! they where all my own work, I didn't just install phpbb or the alike and claim it as my own work and ask people to review it.

I just can't understand why people want credit for someone else software?

Well done you can install a php script ermmm what more do you want me to say?

I couldn't agree more about ripping software off, unfortunately it goes on every day and there is no way we a going to stop it.

The people that rip off others hard work know who they are, maybe they just don't get the whole copyright thing.

Maybe, what someone needs to do in here is explain in depth what the exact outline of "ripping some else off" is.
