ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Felix rapidly strengthened into a dangerous Category 5 hurricane and churned through the Caribbean Sea on a path toward Central America, where forecasters said it could make landfall as “potentially catastrophic” storm.
Felix was packing winds of up to 165 mph as it headed west, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. It was projected to skirt Honduras’ coastline on Tuesday before slamming into Belize on Wednesday.
“As it stands, we’re still thinking that it will be a potentially catastrophic system in the early portions of this week, Tuesday evening, possibly affecting Honduras and then toward the coast of Belize,” said Dave Roberts, a hurricane specialist at the center in Miami.

A way to avoid spam could be to make a new forum, which is totally the same but at a different address and put the link as a subforum name somewhere (to copy&paste) that way spam-bots can't follow the link and won't find us.

I was about to suggest this, but I reread your post and realis/zed that yours was basically the same.

Excellent idea though.

Also the link will be written in normal text. Spambots' foolishness can be very good.

Spam bots will still find us - all you need is one user to have a virus that goes through their bookmarks, and voila!

Anyways, with the no-link policy, at least these spam posts are not able to do what they want: post links to unsavoury websites. And apparantly we now get the news from them.
