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.

  • No legalese, other than the checkbox that says you realize you're going to get an email for account validation.

    We built this for OnARM.com (now defunct) a few years ago and it worked pretty well. I'm migrating that login system (not the entire forum) and integrating it with this application.

    The process is basically:

    1. Create an account
    2. Supply a valid email address.
    3. Site emails you
    4. You click a link in the email, validating your address.
    5. Link takes you to a page to reset your password. Which does NOT require 1Of 3vEry!@tipe of character in UTF-8 alphabet. Because that is lame.

    So, pretty typical stuff.

    PS:

    I feel everyone's pain - I'm already getting frustrated entering CAPTCHAs just replying to these threads. The CAPTCHA is a stop-gap measure that is fairly effective and took a minimum amount of time to implement, not a long-term solution.
