    Default Join The War Against Spam!

    I use it for one month now and my spam is effectively going down!

    Instead of just filtering, we can fight back and make it stop, join the Blue Frog community and be active against spam.

    But what will all the phishers and pharmers do for a living?
    And have you thought of all those "member" enlargement companies that will go out of business?

    Have a heart, stop the madness now before it's too late.

    One the other hand, what a fantastic idea, though I've had the frog on my computer for a while.
    (In other words I also recommend it).

    Spam is good, this is spam . jk.

    Really there will be always some way of bypassing protections and there will be always some funny guy who will spam message boards and e-mails just to see irritated mods banning him and cleaning the forums all again. The war against spam is like a war against anything crappy people can say. It's eternal, because you can't make people stop saying crap as you can't stop them spamming the boards definetely. At least this is a good news for the new generation of moderators, and and those who code spam filters because they will never get useless one day except in the more insignificant boards or e-mail domains such as yahoo.

For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it."

    Blue Frog is a program to report spam mail, not about forum spamming.
    Use the link and read the website.

    Yeah but still it is the "war against spam" ok? So my reply is still right because I generalized spam not only to mail spam but also forum spamming. So you have nothing to say against it .

    I've never got spam mail anyway; perhaps Hotmail doesn't allow it?

    Hotmail has a fairly good filter already, so most spam won't get through, and most of what does goes to junk-email.

    i clicked the link and it said "Service Unavailable" perhaps the spammers are fighing back with a DDOS attack?
