Turned off new users until we have some fix for this fucking flood of spammers. I also deleted a bunch of recently created accounts that haven't spammed yet - I assume they're spammers to be, but if any of them were real sorry about that.
Update: Currently enabled, lets see if there's any improvement.
***Update2*** Nope, disabled again

Re: Forum Registration Temporarily Suspended
I'm guessing you guys will need to update phpBB if you want support for better captchas.
Take a look at the automatic updater here https://www.phpbb.com/downloads/?sid=1f ... 6b4a63b45b

I miss EotA
Re: Forum Registration Temporarily Suspended
I re-opened registration last night with administrator activation required. Within about 5 hours there were about 20 spambots waiting for activation.
I then changed the captcha it to a simple question and answer that anyone familar with EotA would know. So far 24h later none have been able to sign up.

What if someone new to EotA tries to register?
