SFS offers allot of support in the forums. If you use ASP / .Net forum sites you can still use the data provided by StopForumSpam.Com group. There isn't much support for ASP/.Net users as of this date. But, if you ask in the forums or search you'll find other sites offering scripts that will work with some of the older forums like Snitz 2000. Overall it's a great group and it's nice to see the creator of the project actually participates and is active within the forums. On a side note: It's not that important to store last years data on spammers due to the fact most change formats (ip,email,user) on a weekly and daily bases. The key to the success of StopForumSpam.Com is actually it's members that supply "Hot" first seen reports. Spam one in the group and that's it! Search the forums to find your setup and Ask Questions!
