It's just you... :) hehe on my forum I have considered creating a SPAM archive forum e.g. all SPAM messages are moved to that forum for the amusement of others ;)

beware when you do that! You help the spammers by not deleting their spam, as search engines find spam that's still available and so they see "aah, there's a link to that (spam) site, so we gonna rate it high!" ;) hope u got teh point. but yes, the password protection seems to help!

Yeah.

I'm thinking about removing all the bans and so, that I did, and remove that ban-list post too.

It seems obsolete now. :)

you can probably exclude the forum from search engines, i know its possible to exclude individual pages by setting a meta tag or something, unfortunately i dont remember what it is, something like 'bots=off' in the <head> tag i think.

yes. these locks that are "interpreted" by crawlers are not a RULE and do not work with every search engine. but a password will.
