    Ok so I dont get about like i used to, but you have to say IWT Forum (no link with respect to Triphp!) is pretty much "RIP".
    Over the last few days all I have done is clear out loads of Spam and it seems all the other Mods have jumped ship.
    Shame, we had a good team there (Zoli included....or maybe the best!?)

    So anyone still spam, I mean post there?

    I'm really sad about it, i used to post there but (i don't know why) someone deleted many of my posts and closed my account. I also noticed the lack of activity from Admins and many rants from advertisers so at the end i never came back... :(

    You are better off here (as always) Riverwire runs a great Forum now with a good active team, all credit to them. Its got the pleasant and friendly feel back.

    As for posts deleted, there were a few members that were either deleted or banned and had posts deleted, my Mod account got hacked for theat purpose!

    Its been dead as long as i can remember to be honest , back in the days when i was posting over at UKWW Iwebtool forum was pretty good , which if i remember was when you and zoli was there, the last 15 month or so at least have just gone from bad to worse.

    if i was the owner of IWT then i would get rid of the forum completely and focus on the other area's , its pretty obvious the owner doesnt care about the forum , No matter what any one says the proper admin has to be active at a forum ( especially a webmaster one because of the work involved ) , Just like Shawn at DP , when he wasnt around the place slowly started dying.

    Due you are a Mod there i have a question to you (sorry i'm ust curious so if you wish don't answer me): What happened to owners / Admins?, i never saw them on forums... Usually Admin is the most contacted member of a board but on this case seems that the Admin role is a ghost ...

    IWT has been dying for 2-3 years. Since the most dedicated person is away (JJ) there is no motivation for me to waste my time deleting the crappy posts. This is defenetly the owner fault. He has not updated vb script since years. I was not suprised that the site was hacked many times. It is shame on me but finally I got totally fed up with IWT.
