    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.

                I agree!
                This is getting annoying.

                    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.
