We had 300+ members but due to them spamming us I had to wipe it all.

Do you have any links to where they spammed you or did you delete it?

I had to delete it.

I also have PM's but since I deleted all the accounts (every day someone else spammed) all the names say "anonymous" now.

There is never any call to delete your membership wholesale, and doing so will have predictable results.

You can use admin approval of registration, email bans and the mass user delete function to selectively and quickly delete spammers.

This is what really happened, last august a very large and busy forum (spinnwin) was getting spammed, then the original owner re-took admin back, he gave it away to 2 other people. Then he revamped the forum...about 2 months later, there was a fight, and the Original Owner didn't want to deal with fights, so he gave his admin privileges to the first person who asked, which happened to be sage. People at the forum did not like sage, or how the original owner handled the situation, so they left. Sage is just trying to take down my forum out of spite, and for kicks and giggles. I created my forum to reunite all the members of the old spinnwin, with a new name "SNW" it has no relation to spinnwin whatsoever, it even states that in the forum rules.

thanks for your input.

I am going to lock this now. No doubt like all forum squabbles someone will insist there is yet another side to things, but we do not deal with forum squabbles here only real T&C/legal issues.
