I know, I know... sequels always suck.
Anyway, I have shut down new registration for a couple days while I round up this latest batch of bots that have figured out the answer to the secret question and look into upgrading registration security a bit.
** Warning to lurkers with zero posts... this will likely involve me deleting accounts with no posts, so at least say Hi to us in the intro forum.
Spam Patrol Part 2
Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Update:
All spamming accounts should now be deleted (along with their posts). I'm going to leave new registration close for another couple days to make sure there aren't any still lingering. In the mean time, I'm going to look into updating registration security to prevent this from happening again any time soon. Please report any spam posts that you see left over.

Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Thanks for the hard work Joe I saw the forums filled with spam and thought it may just be the end of this quiet little place that we love :)
Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Bonus points for keeping this place tidy, Joe. Quite sad that people have stopped posting. Oh well. I've just realised I've passed a 10year anniversary on this forum - wow!
Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Spam should be kept in a can! :p
Double rainbow paw prints, ice cream on the nose, flying taco's and spaghetti everywhere.

Do my litterbox next Joe.

Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Well yeah, evidently anyone with 0 posts hasn't been doing any spamming. :p
And it should be easy enough to only prune accounts made in the last few months, right? No need to kill off any of the longtime lurkers, especially when they've got a 7 year-plus record going.

Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
I'd be in for posting more! It's just, uhm, there's nothing to post about. You can find regulars in the chat a lot, though.

Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Yeah, I miss this place. I would be happy if it were to miraculously come back.
Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
I expected to come back and have 15k pages of spam to sort through for a few hidden gems...
now I don't have to.
That's pretty cool. Good stuff!

Re: Spam Patrol Part 2
Well maybe if you people would actually post or come in the IRC, this wouldn't be dead :P
