Spam Bot Problem Resolved (For Now)
« on: July 06, 2024, 10:26:22 AM »
Hey everyone! I know this forum is more or less entirely inactive, but we recently had a huge influx of unchecked spam bots. I've been really busy of late with home repairs and family visiting, but it's unacceptable that I never checked the board and let the problem fester for so long. Huge thanks to Morshu for doing their best to deal with it during the early stages and for alerting Mincy/myself about it recently. The bot rampage has ended and hopefully will not resume due to a few changes I made in how the board works. So sorry for the annoyance, and thanks for stopping by!
