The one about Oliebollen (it's in the thread what it is about) was split because it went off topic, why it is locked... I dunno... guess, everything was said
About DJMystic, he did some very bad things in the past... But that is the past... I hope it isn't now (still) what you're saying it is... Otherwise, to the rest: get over it....
The only (written) rules I know of are the ones of the forums...
I didn't know how it was back then (in 2002), but like it is now, yeah, there is much spam, but I wouldn't consider these forums spammy if you compare them to others, although I must say I see many same threads... (It's like no-one will search anymore for something and questions are asked over and over again)...
