Are you sure it was this one?  I delete nearly a dozen of them per day and people seem to post in all of them for some reason.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Don't celebrate just yet.  There's more than one spammer using more than one particular program out there.  We'll probably catch some but not all.

This one isn't the annoying prick from latin america that we've all come to know and love.

This is not a one day process, sin.  I'm still collecting information.

I've put my old freemail blocker back in place to prevent registrations.  I removed it originally to promote new users, but I've modified the blocker more for spam protection than ban evasion protection purposes.

I've also made the post and thread counts for the spam catch subforum permanent.

No new spam since I put the last two changes in effect (so far).  Looks like we might have a fairly effective cocktail that'll stop a lot of the spam before it even happens.

Don't think this means we'll never see any again, however.

Bots can choose a lot of things to decide where to post:
- Forum with highest post count
- Forum with most recent post
- Highest listed forum
- Forum ID 1 (our assistance forum, oddly enough)

Now, by having one forum that hits all of these things, that makes it all the more attractive to a bot.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I enabled guest posting in the spam forum as well.  Many bots won't even bother to register if guest posting is enabled, which means that the've got even more reason to post there instead of here.
