Forum Spammed
Posted: Wed May 06, 2009 1:19 pm
The forum has been getting attacked by spammers despite the software being up to date. I had to delete thousands of inactive users and dozens of accounts that were activated by spammers. I apologize to any legitimate users who were accidentally pruned as a result of this housekeeping. I plan to customize the registration form to make it more difficult for these malicious bots to attack our site. They have already broken the CAPTCHA so I will add a special question to the registration form that must be answered correctly before the new account registration can be submitted. Don't worry, if you are a legitimate user you will have no trouble answering this question.
