thanks! found it - forum looks a lot cleaner, loads MUCH faster and is quicker to read... I must admit I miss some signatures (especially your simpsoms,lol) It would have been nice to limit sigs to those on your friends/buddy list... oh well. small price to pay

Heh. Why not post a topic about that in the Feature Requests board, I think it would be nice for something like that in the core feature set.

About these spams happening on every forums in the internet. Before I don't understand why they "spam" and put useless links. I'm a moderator of multiple forums myself and usually delete these posts in an instant when I see them.
But now I understand why they're doing it. These links with anchor texts are called backlinks they do it to increase the Pagerankings of a certain website. Websites with higher page rankings are often the target of link builders.
Most individuals are getting paid to build link for these website. Some are getting paid per link or paid per hour. So if a post is off topic they just post the links with no other comments I delete them instantly. But if they have a good comment which is related to the topic I let it go(probably give the link a few days like 3-5 days enough time for them to get paid for it).
Some forums or websites allowed placing of website links in the members profile where each member can add multiple anchor text - links in their profile.
Like this website for example: **Removed***
Making this kind of feature allows a member to put those backlinks without having to put them in discussion topics which will look more like a spam. Thus making the discussion clean of spam. And it also helps increase traffic for their website.
This website hxxp:www.simplemachines.org [nonactive] has a page rank of 8/10 (Congratulations!) that's why link builders come here to post their links in the signatures.
To the moderators, please allow my links to be up for a few days and you can delete them afterwards. Thank you!
