This board is currently using the security feature you mention. Bots have been surpassing that speedbump, much to our dismay. If you have suggestions as to what other methods we could try (upgrading is not an option), let me know.Trust Kill wrote:Yeah.. I realy doubt disalowing spamming and all that stuff is gonna help keeping bots out, I cant imagine a bot following rules. The only thing that can stop those bots is that numbers and letters picture, thats about all this forum needs. And I guess theres no diference between auto and manual registrations.

Upgrading phpbb would mean having to recode large portions of the main page.

Hey, fuckwad. People have real lives, you know? You think King wants to spend fu** knows how long recoding this site from the ground up to curtail a few mildly annoying spambots that do very little to disrupt much of anything?
You don't have the 'right' to help? I'm sure King would welcome with open arms anyone willing to put forth the time and effort needed to help revamp the site since he is mildly busy with college and work among other things.

Chill the fu** out zopharx, stick your head into a bathtub and cool it.
You know what makes me sick Darkruler? people who cant talk without being sarcastic, do those sons of whores make you sick too?
The "right" to mess around with the site to do what's needed, and it aint just a few bots, I have never seen a forum with so many bots before.
I'd like to know what in the name of holy hell is so offensive about this: "I would if I had the the right and power to do it. But since I dont have neither of those all I can do is keep whining."
What I said was -in other words- college isnt keeping me busy at the moment and nothing else is: I got loads of spare time, if I could I would do it myself.
