I may look into getting captcha to user upper and lower case alpha numeric, that should be able to fuck em up.

Admin validation could be done, but it tends to scare a lot of members off.

na im editing the user creation page, it'll have a simple question on it before you can proceed, answer wrong and it won't, bots won't get past it, only an non automated bot will, but nothing will stop them.

Thanks for all your hard work, Slade. Everyone here loves you for it!

We need something that is NOT Captcha. I've been doing a bit of reading around and it seems that the latest Captcha in PHPBB has been cracked. Upper case, lower case, alpha-numeric. It doesn't matter. It's done for.

Man. All this makes me want to study and learn more about this so I can help out. I'm not very educated in how these computer languages work.

If there's anything I can do to help, I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

You just worry about getting members here. And let Slade and I do the tech work.

I can never thank you enough..

oh yeah... you know the picture code thing? it's really hard to read, i could bearly tell what it was saying.... i had to do it three times before i got it right... just thought i'd let you know...

Yeah, well the sooner we deal with bots the better, I'm deleting the handy work of the last one now as I type this. Looks like it posted porn links in every single section of the forum...
