Re: Cellphone promoters here = spambots?
Probably not, but then phpBB will just release a new one... That's the way the world goes round, and round, and round, and round!

So far, there's been only one spambot that has managed to register and post more then a few messages

As soon as they can I'm sure they'll block the pesky blighter
I'm still convinced you are a bot. A helpful one I'll grant you.

It would be interesting to make a forum bot, that went around responding to forum questions in the level of detail as spambot does... Only problem is he's a little too human to be a bot
