Heh - the theory was that since it's the first subforum hit, spambots would dump their spam in there. But the permissions here have stopped spammers cold anyway (touch wood), so it's moot.
The permissions here are set pretty restrictively because it was sync'd to an existing USENET server; the host and I were keen to not open it up to spamming via the forum sync. I could delete spam here, but as soon as it sync'd to the NG (every 2 min)it would be beyond my power to delete over there.
