I think the time has come for a review as to who should be be moderators. I had to delete a kitchen spam thread in the Andy section today which had been there for 17 hours. And it was one which had escaped the spam filter, so was there for everyone to see which isn't the greatest look for the forum. The only act...

Kitchen adverts
(Preview)
Can somebody with knowledge of the computer world explain to me how these kitchen adverts get in? Does a robot sign up for a fake profile and then spam us? Do they do this to other forums? I'm so intrigued

Who was the best Bond?
(Preview)
I had this discussion with a few friends at work the other day, and I have to say over the years, my view has changed. As a child I used to love Roger Moore, but as I have matured I have realized his films are comedy and have aged terribly. I now believe Dalton was the greatest bond.
