Mark Newton wonders whether change is always for the better, and defends the difficult practice of web hosting.
The search engines at times are so fussy about the content on your website that they'll lower your page ranking if they don't like an advert you're hosting, so why can't they filter out these multiple identical forum entries? It couldn't be anything to do with the fact that each of the forums carries prodigious numbers of ads supplied by the same search engines?
