RE: Why does msghelp not get spam bots?
why? because MyBB isn't very popular, and this the only site anywhere to have this version

Really? =o

I can't think of anything that would stop them, but like MeEtc said, there are no other boards on the web using the msghelp codebase, so a bot might need specific instructions to target us, which would be a waste of time for the spammers. :p If bots ever become a problem, I'll make some modifications to try and thwart them.
