Well, I assume it's not quite pointless. I deliberately wrote the script in a way that it spams only 1 site with ONE message. I'm sure that each of our forum readers has enough programming skills to enhance it (i.e. read website names from an Array or database).

the point was to prove that Lazarus boards CAN BE spammed, which you now have admitted.

Yes but I suggest you take a look at your own guestbook. The only post it has had since you introduced image verification is in fact a spam entry.

You cannot make a universal Lazarus spamming script as the anti bot question on every site will be different. Some may contain the answer in the question and some wont. Not all of them are in English for a start. The only way you could make a script to spam multiple Lazarus sites is to actually visit the site and manually put the answer into the script.

Oh and do you really think I'm stupid enough to have left the useragent exploit in place? Who do you think it was reported the exploit in the first place?

Sorry to disappoint you, but the entry you talk about is NOT a spam entry. Before releasing this one to the list of entries, I carefully checked the log. The positive statement (even though also used in spam entries) is in this particular case a manually entered message by someone who visited the site in fact.

Spam is spam regardless of whether it was posted manually or by a script/program. There are people out there who manually spam guestbooks and forums.

no we came up with different ways of takling the same problem. The reason Lazarus is more popular is because as well as anti spam I added more features and options as well as improved existing ones.
