Spambots and spammers invade forums, even small ones, and thus destroy one of the aspects of the Web 2.0. Then, compared to activity, it becomes just too much effort to keep the forum smooth. I have closed my (german) forum about city building games which I had run for years in October last year, due to the very same reasons and considerations. It's sad, really.
