My First 4 Forum Users

So I've just noticed that four people have joined the forums on my new website, and their usernames are showing up in my WA login thingy:

I've no idea who they are, and they haven't posted anything to the forum yet. But it's encouraging to know that 4 people have already decided that it's a good idea to join.

They're not all Eric or Jovo having a laugh, are they?


UPDATE 05-01-2016: I've had a few more since then. On reflection, I suspect they may be created by article posting software that thinks the site is an article directory. This is all just an experiment at the moment, so I may have to rethink this.

Often, a quick search on the email addresses used or the usernames will make it easy to determine if they are just spambots or manual spammers(i.e. backlink spammers). The joys of running a forum. :)

Good luck with it all Marcus.

Is it complicated to install a forum in your site? Is it a plugin?

Yes, it is a plugin.

What type of forum are you running Marcus? Cheers!

It's a plugin called bbPress.

Did not have time yet. Will do.

I plan to do this at my side as well. But are you saying that all users will appear in the login list in SiteRubix, SiteManager window? This looks terrible. Imagine you have hundreds, or thousands. What sort of access do they really have?

I think we need a detailed training on this.

This sounds so interesting please let us all know how it progresses ok
