Well, I'm looking for advice for my situation.
There is a forum which has got the same topic as mine.
It's about the same size and therefore, a direct competition with mine.
However the admin seems to be so desperate to get new members and posts, that they are creating them themselves.
Today a bunch of new accounts were created, and I'm sure that weren't registered users, since the admin was in the adminCP at the same time.
They've already more members than us through this method, they also don't use any bot protection for no reason, it seems like they just want more new accounts, even if they are bots.
Now, how can a fight a forum like this with such a terrible behaviour?
I don't want to sink down to their level, but it's sure that they'll end up to be the bigger forum in the end if they continue like this.
Any tips would be appreciated.
