Please do not PM me for server related help

Always right on it Realchamp.
The PM should be filtered from everyone's inbox now, let me know if it didn't disappear.

Our MyBB forums get hit pretty bad with spam too. I enabled some stop forum spam plugin but it just blocked everybody from registering -_-
The only software I have used that doesn't get super spammed up was the Ipb3 hosted communities.
Looking for a game server? Visit
fullfrag.com and pick one up as low as $2.50 / mo!

maybe you can implement something custom in the registration process. I once did that with a phpBB2 forum which I did not wanted to upgrade to phpBB3 (but support for phpBB2 was long gone). I just required the captcha code to be entered in reverse order (simply put strrev() around the sent string in the respective if query, and wrote some red message into the form so every human knows of this). that is very effective, because probably no spammer writes specific software for this forum. Probably it's not important what the difference is, only make it different from the default :-)

I agree, we could use a renewed and simplified registration form anyways. I fear some spammers are human (shabby eastern search engine optimization firms) though so the problem can never be fully eliminated.

Are there ANY admins awake? I've reported a spambot weeks ago, yet it's still happily posting random text in every topic.

Thanks for the headsup (thread reply message to the rescue). Since the MyBB upgrade our anti-spam plugins are really glitchy. I'll see if I can fix them, this is really unacceptable.
