Also yes when coming to the =http://forum.xbian.org/ I get a lot of spam pop ups hitting me

true,you do not have privilege to open new threads as a new member. You need to make at least 5 replies to unlock full account.
This is one of the ways how to stop spamming appears on site.

Could we please have some soft of introductions thread or something for new users to post to before they are allowed to post? I don't have anything useful to contribute to any existing thread, but I need to ask a support question, and I can't. Or what about throttling the rate of creating new threads to one a day instead of outright blocking thread creation for new accounts?
