Totally understand that the effort required to fight malware is tedious. But instead of shutting it down you may want to try a $5/mo plan. The money is not for making money but kind of like how Google chrome store required a $5 payment to publish your first chrome extension.
Spammers hate paying it and I think as soon as money changes hand there is verification and a trail which makes them nervous too (many forum owners do this as well).
- madrox 8y agoI got the impression the author would rather not deal with the headache anymore, and charging money is trading one set of headaches for another. Building things is fun. Operating things is stressful. I don't blame them.
- superasn 8y agoThe stats he has quoted on the FAQ it wouldn't be surprising if it starts making $10K/mo (just a wild guess) and the malware reduces as a side-effect too. But I guess you're right. Not everyone is driven by money and it would certainly turn a hobby project into a full time job. Sounds fair to shut it down.
