No worries, if it goes off again just let me know here and I'll take another look.

Give it another try now. You triggered a security rule.

Anti-spam plugin went haywire! Disabled for now, hopefully the bots won't notice!

If you can give me the time that you have tried to post and had issues then I can take a look and try to ease the anti-bot restrictions. Sorry for the annoyance!

I check in weekly too!

Gone! I installed some anti-spam tools and it's possible that the software thought your message was spam. Sorry about that.

Haha, let's hope you don't need a new one but if you do you can submit the expense to Neuge! Maybe that'll get him to answer my emails...

So far not a single user has registered since I enabled the Q&A, and the Akismet plugin stopped the only other bot that registered before I made the change. Hopefully I didn't make the Q&A too difficult, but I think it's pretty easy! Hopefully that'll be the end of the bots.. If not, I'll turn on th...

Yes, we can make it so that the first post always go to the moderator queue and then you can manually approve. Subsequent posts will be allowed. We can even make that number > 1 so that the first n posts must be approved. It does look like Akismet did its job so maybe this is OK for now. I see one c...

Okay, I also installed the Akismet anti-spam plugin, and set it to add potential spammers to the "Newly registered users" group by default. That will prevent them from posting without moderation -- but it should also prevent those posts from going through as Akismet has a large database of potential...

Ugh, I can't tell if it's better or worse. I saw two spam posts this morning. Another thing we could do is restrict the boards that new users can post to. That would make it easy to spot the bots but slightly inconvenient for legitimate users. Definitely more work for the moderators. But I'm not sur...

I just added reCAPTCHA to the forum. Hopefully that will help keep the bots away.

I think I did it. Let me know if it didn't work. Note that mods will still be able to see them, but regular users shouldn't.

Sorry guys (and gals), we should be good now. I had to upgrade the software due to a vulnerability in the old version, and unfortunately the old theme was no longer compatible with version 3.1. We'll have to work up a new theme compatible with the new version. Typically a 3.0 to 3.1 release wouldn't...

Howdy - We experienced a brief forum outage this evening. The server ran out of disk space because you guys write too much! Well, the real reason was that the access log for the Web server was over 2GB and hadn't been rotated in over a year. I took care of that, but the database was corrupt. I ran a...

All set, thanks for your patience!

The problem I had with mods is that they are a pain in the ass to deal with when board upgrades happen. Maybe less so with phpBB3, but it was real bad with phpBB2.

Howdy folks - My apologies for the downtime over the past few days. I was under the impression that something had gone wrong with the boards -- perhaps an exploit, or some such -- and took precautionary measures by disabling the board. I was unable to look further into the issue until today, after s...

Hey, that's me!

Our server has now moved to the West coast (I left my old job and am now paying for a VPS.) I've also upgraded the forum software. New features include an updated CAPTCHA generator, which should help keep spammers out. if you notice anything odd, please let me know.

The board will be going down in 15 minutes (23:45 EST.)

The forums will be down at some point later this evening for maintenance.

As do I.

Looks like I'd be loosing out here. Balsa, what would you get me?

Changed to unlimited. If this becomes a problem, we'll address it. Please remember to clear out any messages that you don't need.

I've uploaded it to misc.

I've enabled it for now, seeing as how I've not given Neuge or Jag FTP access.

I do believe that you can upload your own avatar. Give it a shot and let me know if it works.

I'm a fan of TwilightBB, but those icons are a bit goofy.

Welcome.

Done.

As you've probably noticed, in the process of the move, I've taken it upon myself to upgrade from phpBB2 to phpBB3. This may break a few things, but I have deemed it necessary. phpBB2 has many security holes and is no longer supported by the developers. The portal page is no longer available as it w...

The board will be going down sometime during the next few days as the server changes physical location. We are currently in the process of moving our hosted solutions to a datacenter in Boston, and the server that hosts this site is coming along. Depending on when our Dell shipment gets in, the site...

Title is all set. Link to the avatars you would like to have uploaded.
