Topic: Spam begone!
Seems that the spam is gone but for how long?
I think this forum needs a skin tho

Re: Spam begone!
Well, I installed a 'click the box' mod for registration, which should keep some of them out. The transition wasn't as easy as I'd have liked because phpBB Blog (of course) doesn't work with PunBB. We lost all private messages in the transition, and PunBB doesn't natively support polls (maybe I can put a mod in later), so let's hope this lasts a while... Worst case, I can mass delete from the MySQL console. Spammers always post links, which helps narrow down their messages..

Thats cool. I'm sure that would help a lot and hopefully wont need more to stop the bots. I like the new mod area. Polls isn't such a big deal but if its easy to add one then do it, surely there would be already a Pol mod made.

ooo Sexy.. i can choose a different layout even.. I don't have to stick with the what i would imagine is the default Oxygen one.. Cobalt for the win!
I do have a quick question.. Are avatars gone? They arent needed but I usually identified my posts by my Avatar.. I am really into myself so i tend to read my posts over and over again... Thats the sad problem of being full of myself =/

I don't question my sexuality, my sexuality questions me.

Yeah, you can still use avatars. Unlike phpBB, PunBB doesn't appear to have a gallery feature, so I made it possible to choose your own. This is probably a huge mistake on my part, but until it gets abused I'll give it a chance.

Well hopefully it wont get abused, because I like a avatar beside my name 
Your right fb Cobalt is cool, it should be the default it matches well with the site.

I know. I could go back to using my original account, Somru (which is still the name I play under), if I wanted to...but eh...
Zerodyme is a ghost. You don't know he's there until he's cut you. As your hands fall off and your torso splits, the last thing you'll think is, "Oh, fuck! Zerodyme was here!"
