Well, it was only a matter of time. I'm just surprised it happened so quickly...
The vaunted visual confirmation settings for phpBB3 are apparently ineffectual. I've deleted at least two dozen spambot accounts in the past 24 hours. Grr.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
My evil plan is working.
I'm going to *keep* infesting these boards with the bots until you send me the weapons data Excel spreadsheet for 2nd edition Grand Fleets.

Math Dan, I had to do MATH TO SIGN IN! I was a history major, just seeing math makes me shiver a little! Ok so it was simple math and was keeping with your personal fascination with roots de square, but it was still math. Besides, I'm sure there is at least one other game designer that frequents this forum that would show you a more accurate math method for spambot blocking, cunningly hidden behind a multicolored chart (Yes Ken, I'm pointing at you 
)
Perhaps we should borrow the Narn Bat Squad to track down and eliminate spammers.
Cheers,
Erik

Umm... you shouldn't have had to do that to sign in. It's supposed to be just for registrations... :?:

Sounds like somebody pushed the wrong button...and I don't think it was me considering I wasn't trying to register at the time!

I'll second that. Math to log in :shock:

Yep, already had the forum up, but I hadn't looked in for a few hours. had to solve a math problem to post....oh, but not this time....
Well, I think I may have dealt with the spambot problem... for now.
They're like frickin' roaches -- if you see one, you're probably not seeing the other thousand. 
I"m on a lot of Yahoo groups, and they seem to have had an temporary uptick of activity there, too.
Hopefully, it's over with....
