Hi,
Complete newbie to vBulletin. Purchased and loaded 4.1.2 to Gator Hosting about one month ago and didn't add any content or check any settings. Looked at it for the first time yesterday and I had 494 Users, 24 threads and 77 posts. The majority of the posts were for pharmacies in Canada, but a few others were hawking software and other mechandise. I've been reading the manual and have already made note how to ensure a real person is signing up, but does anyone have a Security Configuration Checklist, such as we use on Servers to ensure configuration best practices. I downloaded 4.1.3 yesterday and instad of performing an upgrade, I'm think of wiping out 4.1.2 and starting over and in the porcess hopefully eliminating my 494 Bot generated users.
Any advice would be appreaciated.
Craig
