Die spambots, DIE!
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:41 pmAfter some surprisingly simple changes, I believe I've (hopefully 
) put an end to the flood of spam registrations we've been experiencing for the last month or so. Since February 2nd we've gotten over a thousand fake registrations. 
Now that I've addressed that issue, I hope to be able to do some much needed maintenance here. This maintenance is going to affect some primary board functions. Chat may be a temporary casualty as the AJAX chat function isn't playing very nice with the rest of the board. There are a couple of alternatives I am looking into.
I'll try to give as much advanced warning as possible before I commence the maintenance. Not sure how long it's going to take but probably at least three to four hours, possibly longer.
Cheers,
Ed T.
