Just had to post this....

After bouncing around registers for years after Little Wolf let it go, his old domain:

http://www.cardcaptors-syaoranandsakura.com

has finally been released and is now in my possession

*chucks a party*

DAMN! Where have you been hiding?!!

DAMN! Where have you been hiding?!! 

In the shadows! Stalking you Aracademan!

Though in all seriousness, do ask my ISP that question, as I stated awhile back,most of the time when I tried to access this site in the past I'd get thrown to an openDNS page or some other page that usually meant the domain either didn't exist or that the server itself couldn't be reached.

Though it seems now I'm having no problems, I guess whatever was wrong with the domain finally cleared up after DJP aquired it. At least I hope anyway, oh well only time will tell, maybe it was a route between me and the CW server ... bleh... internet is a mystery to me sometimes Then again, perhaps like DJP said in another thread with how ISP are more about money, perhaps some of them finally fixed their darned servers.

Plus on the bad side, this site is being so badly hit by spammers, I can no longer tell which sign-ups are true and which are junk.

Might rethink my stance on Capatcha (ReCapatcha) if thats what it will take

[Kasawa Lanford]

You may need to, I tend to try and check every IP and E-mail and send them through some of the sites I use for checking for spammers, but there's so darned MANY! x.x

[D.J.P]

Well its done. I've purged the current awaiting members list.

Registration is now protected by reCAPTCHA. Hope this solves the bot issue while allowing genuine users to sign up.

Approval has been disabled (Return to member activation mode - users must click on link in e-mail to complete registration).

Will watch and see how things go now.

As I always say, the more, the better. It's hard being virtually the only poster these days here

[D.J.P]

Just disabled registration. Spammers still getting through don't know how.

Will look into it.

ReCapcha won't work overly to well anymore, not since some stupid idiot at a university was able to create a program that basically latches onto ReCapcha, so no human is needed when that is being used on a forum

[D.J.P]

Seems to work here. Before the forum upgrade with recaptcha enabled was still getting spam registrations (Caught 5 before I closed registration and began the upgrade).

Now no spam registrations since upgrading to 2.0.1.
(and registration works fine - I tested it).

So far I consider it: Me: 1. Spammers: 0

The registration seems not to accept gmail accounts.  I tried registering many times, but the forum only took me as a spammer

[D.J.P]

gmail.com was blocked due to a influx of spammers using gmail accounts. Ban has now been lifted.
