 New User Registration
New Users are currently not able to register. The SPAM had gotten out of control, hopefully this will curtail it for a bit. If you really really want to register and are a real person, feel free to send a tweet to @kcrag and somebody will take care of you.
Sorry for the PITA...hopefully disabling registrations for awhile will let the spam bots pass us over.

 Re: New User Registration
Think it's safe to open it back up?

 Re: New User Registration
I think a spambot on Twitter asked me to loosen up our restrictions, so I'd lean towards no.

 Re: New User Registration
Open it back up and give it a shot. If it comes back then close or find a solution. Does the phpBB software support forum have a solution, maybe some extra verification methods to add?

 Re: New User Registration
The first post says @kcrag, but @theKCrag seems to be the active Twitter account. That could be why no one's even asking to join?

 Re: New User Registration
I honestly didn't even know this is how we were doing it. I don't think anyone has asked to join.

 Re: New User Registration
I just added that (incorrectly) as I figured some human if they wanted to join bad enough could ask that way.

I'll look into a better solution today. This is ridiculous.

Have bots learned how to use American slang?

 Re: New User Registration
We're getting tons of spambots signing up every day; apparently it is possible to sign up. I assumed signups were enabled.
