| but on my old forums there were very less of advertising but lot of registeration with wierd usernames and link to some adult material site in the member's website. i don't know what they get out of it. |
What they get is a link-back to their site and the more the links they have on the Internet, they think search engines will rank them higher. Remove such 0 post members with links in their signatures... or better remove their signature.

they don't make signatures they never care to re-visit or better i think they are just some softwares it can't real person. the website are the field which phpbb puts while registration, i wish i could somehow delete that field, but i don't know how to delete.
but as i said i have blocked .mail.ru and this much is just working fine.

There are some. I had one at my forum once. It's just like Hotmail or Yahoo - there are some real users and some fake ones.
