Hey folks,
as you probably saw this morning, and then again this afternoon, the board is under a heavy spam attack right now. I just deleted a few hundred newly registered accounts that were spam accounts (if I got any legitimately new users in there too, I apologize. Please try again once registration is re-enabled in the next few days).
For now, no one can register. I will be adding additional spam controls tomorrow and re-enable registration shortly.
Just dont forget to turn it back on this time
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
...but if I want to offer people payday loans in Russian, that's still cool, right?
established community members are still allowed to push their goods and services, no matter how sordid.
Jer, please approve my friend's account: Viagra800sellfreefastshipping
He really likes The Bananas and Mt. Gigantic. And he can get you the hook up.
You can now register again, at least temporarily. seeing how this all goes.

For some reason, this is probably my favorite context for the word sordid I've ever seen.
well, that didn't last long. diabled again. back to the drawing board.
Would setting up an image code for registering not solve the problem?
i'm going to try it, but most likely no unless they've improved the mechanism from past versions I've tried. It wouldn't be any worse than the captcha though, which is the worst. The "what type of music does PIX put out" question was the most effective thing I've used for years, but for whatever reason, not anymore.
Okay, i setup an image thing for registering that looks pretty good. we'll see how it goes
looksike we're good.
a spam account got through, but not the 100's at a time that was happening a few days ago. hooray!
