I just deleted something like 15,000 registered users (almost all of them were bots)! Anyone who was registered but had 0 posts will have to create a new account. Mad

I have also been experimenting with a bot prevention hack on the registration page. Maybe that will help cut out some of this crud.

good work on cleaning up the place ^_^

Oh and as for Jakenut's site... i don't agree with some of the stuff myself (No Sonic on top 10 SMS Games? No Top MegaDrive or Game Gear?... and Alex Kidd in Mircale world is basicly the best in the series.. some of the later games were complete Junk! in fact, all of them are completey different style and story then this one.. and how did Alex Kidd High-Tech World make it on that list.. it's a okay way to waste about 10 mins but that's it! Oh well) Maybe you need to check out the Online Game Gear Games on my site ^_^ All the Sonic games for the Game Gear or Master System (mostly the same of course))

but anyway.. it' a good enought site ^_^

Not my site, just an online forum I frequent. Ter is the owner of the site.

Spam bots are getting around the email bans, so they are probably exploiting a security hole somewhere to "register" new accounts. I am updating the PHP-Nuke install (really needed!) and it should be done tonight.

I go away for a few weeks and all hell breaks loose! Sad

The site is all updated and patched, now. I'll keep a closer eye on it, but I think I plugged the hole that they've all been slipping through. Very Happy

yeah, i did notice it was an amazingly high amount... any reason why on the downloads screen 'Documentation' has been turned into 'Do*****entation' .... I can't think why there are that many blanks.. an over the top censor filter?

anyway.. Nice work cleaning all that up.

Yeah, looks like the censor has gone Big Brother. I'll disable it.

We've survived more than 36 hours without any new spam registrations! (Down from 20+ per day.) I think we can call this a success for game.commies everywhere.
