    New security measure

    Since a little more than one spam bot per day was cracking the perimeter I decided a change was needed.

    Upon registration and update profile you now need to answer the following question.

    Testing if you can read (i.e. not a computer).
    In this sentence, what is the last word

    The answer is simply "word" (minus quotes).

    However since I have made the change there have only been a few posts. So can you a few people make sure that whatever change I made did not effect anyone's ability to post and post a response to this message.

    Thanks

      Meh, it's a quiet time of year, doubt there'll be too many posts for a few days (hangovers take time to recover from after all).
      If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

      Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

                      Ok that makes me feel better that I did not break things. Thanks guys.

                      Still will not feel totally confident until we get a new member, but that has been slowing down as of late as we have already got most people who are interested.

                      It does appear to have worked on the spammers, as I would have expected 2 or 3 during this time using the previous verification system.

                        Thanks for this Kato - you're doing an awesome job giving us a sane place (away from spammers) to chat, and we all appreciate it!

                          I'll second that...

                            Happy New Years everyone. I hope and pray that everyone has a wonderful 2010.
                            Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.

                              Happy New Decade Everybody

                              We got our first new member "gieskj01" so my fears were probably unfounded. Not sure they will be a regular member as they appeared focused on my gaming site, but I can hope.
