thanks, cyberxxx

I hope people that are considering doing this that will not bring the results they want since the members profile data will be the only place with the spammed url...

Ok, as promised... Here is an express solution for PhpBB script (I think I could fix the other ones, but I'm using PhpBB only). So let's begin...

1) go to your main forum directory (say bla-bla-bla.com/board) and look for memberlist.php.

2) open it (memberlist.php) with a text editor when search for the following lines:

$www_img = ( $row['user_website'] ) ? '<a href="' . $row['user_website'] . '" target="_userwww"><img src="' . $images['icon_www'] . '" alt="' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '" title="' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '';
$www = ( $row['user_website'] ) ? '<a href="' . $row['user_website'] . '" target="_userwww">' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '</a>' : '';


now just replace them (I mean the lines above) with the following code:

if ($posts > 1) {
$www_img = ( $row['user_website'] ) ? '<a href="' . $row['user_website'] . '" target="_userwww"><img src="' . $images['icon_www'] . '" alt="' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '" title="' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '" border="0" /></a>' : '';
$www = ( $row['user_website'] ) ? '<a href="' . $row['user_website'] . '" target="_userwww">' . $lang['Visit_website'] . '</a>' : '';
} else {
$www_img = '&nbsp;';
$www = '&nbsp;';
}


3) now just upload the modified memberlist.php file into your main forum's directory

That's it guys! Now URL's will be shown for those members only, who have posted at least 1 (one!) message to your board. Course you may change the required number of posts as you want. Just put an appropriate value to this line:
if ($posts > 1) {

e.g.:
if ($posts > 10) { // means: make at least 10 posts to see your URL in the members list! ;)

Hope it will be useful for somebody :) At least it works great on my own board

:winkwink:

For example, you own a small 1000 user forum , you could add 2000 random users to increase your members list , while at the same time adding pages for se's to spider ( along with the website url )

I didnt mean that its usefull to do to other people's forums..

Flip it around to benefit yourself. Clever.

Are you really sane man? Didn't you smoke some shit or may be you got a drug/vodka enema? I'm talking about ALL boards there. Some of them have PR=5 and even PR=6 on their members pages. Please wait till you be sober when re-read this thread again... poor wretch...

1) Not many I think. The scammers already knew and use this thing for a rather long time (that could be seen by some comments here where some ppl telling us they are using this way to for years).

2) On other hand, you may also note that many boardmasters weren't even aware of such a problem at all. But now they know it!

3) I've posted the sollution which will protect any boardmaster who read this therad from scammers (it's not a real problem to patch any board script if you have a couple of hands).

Now just compare pros and cons when try to summarize them.

When I checked over some suspicious dead (i.e. not-approved) accounts, I've notices they always entered some URL in the "Your Website" field on registration form. But when I checked the list of members there (http://www.fhgstore.com/board/memberlist.php), I understood the situation... The members.php file is spidered by SE and it has some PR. For instance, my one has PR=2, but I'm sure some more famous boards have much bigger PR on their "members" list. So... all these URLs' (99,9% of them are non-adult at all) are getting spidered and earning some PR from my site. Shit, I had no guess about such a trick earlier. Course I have removed all the URLs' on such fraudulent accounts or replaced them with my own ones. Ok, let's these bastards get that they deserved for.

To summarize all the above, I would recommend all board masters to re-check their members lists for non-approved accounts with false email addresses but working URLs' (as I said above, most of them will be not related to the adult business at all!)

Hope my post will be usefull at least for someone here...


this is 2 years old news :)

Creating a simple php prog that will auto register you at 30 or so forums with high pr is pretty easy, just not right.

I'm waiting to start finding the 'rel=nofollow' tags in Top and Link Lists next.

This industry is so laced with cheaters that it's inevitable that some list sites are going to start stealing your PageRank (by telling search engines to ignore you).

Is idiot your first or second name??? I have a rather good SEO experience, but the honest one (not cheating anyone). Please go to sleep because you are too drunk, or you are just too stupid girl.

BTW, nice tits you have. I'd hit you if I wasn't married :1orglaugh

In my case the last page is PR0, but how is about other boards with better PR?..
