Post by Shamisen »

Well it seems we've been on line long enough for these nasty little critters to find us.

Check back often this list will update I'm sure :shock:

Effective immediately the following domains will not be validated :

.ru

.ua

.cn

.info

.biz

If you are at one of these and want access contact me.

The Bots are smarter than the software, so I'm doing a bunch of deleting.

If your email or IP traces back to any of the above consider yourself deleted.

We were hit with a monster load of Bot accounts between the 1st of February 2009 and today..

I had no choice but to delete all of them..
IF you had a new account that was inactive for more than 24 hours it got deleted too..

Sorry but 70 hits in 40 hours and all of them inactive plus a ton of rejected E mail addresses meant we got slammed..

Change of plans... Until further notice.. Any account not activated with in 24 hours of being created will be deleted, period.. The CAPTCHA has been compromised... until new software can be installed this is how it's going to be ...
