As you may have seen before I deleted all the topics, today we recieved a giant spambot rush. I'm pretty sure I got all of it, but make sure to report any posts that I've missed so I or one of the other moderators can delete 'em.

And then he went and did about a dozen more. That's around 42 topics. That's gotta be some kind of record.

Max, not much people join this forum on a daily basis... Why not let the admins verify all accounts before they are allowed to post?
That may well curb the spambot problem, unless they can somehow bypass this.

And of course, none of the mods/admins are on to do that. <_<
I agree with the account verification thing. Easy way to get rid of the spambots.
