That’s great news.

I’ll look forward to seeing you around the forums. I think the new accessibilty forum has some great potential.

Thanks a lot for that information! I had found a number of references to forum behaviors but not a huge number of specific case references – it’s good to hear a relevant anecdote.

I recently joined Cre8asite forums, myself (prodded by your post on the new accessibility area!)and am finding it to be a good resource.

Last year, they hit us a few times at Cre8asite Forums.

One person would make a first post in the forums asking if anyone had ever tried Accoona before. Then, someone else making their first post in the forums would come on and respond, with details about all of the things that they liked about the search engine.

Funny, they both were posting from the same IP address.

A month or so later, we saw the very same tag team effort. And then again a month or so after that.

If they focused on building a better search engine, maybe they wouldn’t have to spam forums like that.
