With 2 other forums I go on, I've noticed that the newest member is sometimes the same newest member as on DF (with the DF reg happening first), ie some botware is copying my history and signing up to other sites. Never happened anywhere else and I run pretty strong anti-virus plus a separate spyware programme on my computer.

Now that is interesting can you please tell me which are the other 2 forums?
Dubai Forums is a phpBB based forum, it's open source. It can't have any spyware and such.

Very much interesting... I think its not at all possible to inject something on the forum by a normal level user.. coz all the input validations are done well.. so very very less chances for a script in jection, xss.. or any kinda malware injection.. the suggestions of spywares from DF is just not possible.. coz most of the times.. if a vulnerability is exploited in any software, the same will be expolited all through its users .. which means most of the fourms (most are php open source based) would have the same spyware tagged along with them ..
