Just in case you've been trying to sign up today, we had to temporarily close registration. We have been hit hard by spambots today, and we're building up our defenses before we allow new members to register.
Our apologies for the inconvenience, however, registration will be re-opened as soon as we straighten this out.

If spam-bots is the problem, use the image code verification within the registration process.

It already is, but they're getting past it.

Any mid-range OCR will get past that image verification proicess with ease.

CAPCHA doesn't fix everything unfortunately, but Dino hopefully does :)
