What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

The big problem with web forums was dealing with spam.

Also, one thing this article overlooked is that X is no longer indexed by Google, because you're required to log in to read most things.

xcancel.com to the rescue! Simply replace x.com with xcancel.com and see everything and don't give them a single piece of data.
