ADMIN: Forum hilarity

All,

I'm working on tightening things up to stop the torrential influx of spam. The process needs to be refined a bit.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to address this.

  • Hi Per,

    It came from literally *thousands* of IPs. Otherwise, I would have blocked them, or entire subnets, if necessary. Not only that: as I was implementing security measures, whatever was attacking was adapting. Kind of impressive, if it didn't suck up a day of my life that could have been better spent doing anything else ever.

    We need to require logins. In fact, the entire forum needs to be replaced.

    Keep in mind that we are a 2 man team running a site that gets over three million visits a month. Note Google-level, but, still...

    Thanks for your patience and support.
