The forum - no surprise - is a spam heaven of doom, but I only invested a little time into it and to a random stranger it will look like it's alive and kicking  |
I did the same by accident, built a forum and got tied up with a whole lot of other projects. Stumbled across it 12 months later and there were 100k of spam posts, couldn't believe it. So just deleted the whole thing.
