The Forums page (the first item in the footer toolbar) has gotten a huge overhaul today that hopefully will make it a lot more useful ... plus it brings back a bit of nostalgia from our vBulletin days. Enjoy. And let me know thoughts. https://www.daniweb.com/forums

Have been surfing around forums for forum owners tonight, and an ENORMOUS problem seems to be bot spam. I'm feeling pretty proud of myself and all of the custom tools that I wrote to keep bot spam at bay since switching off of vBulletin. :) It's really seeming like we …

The popular [MacRumors Forums](http://www.macrumors.com/) site has confirmed that it was successfully hacked on Monday this week.

Ever since 2008, Google has been figuring out which content are forum discussions, and showing the number of posts, authors, and the last post timestamp as meta information within the SERPS description.
