We've had a lot problems viewing and posting lately on this website. It seems to hang a lot. Anyone else notice this problem?

I guess this is for the admin...

The phpBB forum that I run had the same problem with spam for a while.

Until I went into the SQL server (not just the phpBB admin panel) and manually deleted all the spam message and suspected spammers. I just wanted an easier way to clear the junk at the time... Once I did that, all the spam stopped at once. I don't know what it is... but think that perhapse there might be a seed account in there that is used by the spammers to track active phpBB forums.

Now my site has been cleared of spam and spammers for several months now. I can't explain why it worked, but thought it may be of some help.
