Holy moley, what was that?
 
That was a lot of [spam]!
Bloody hell, what a flood of bots last two days. Isn't it time to install some "I am not a robot" registration add-on or so?

If I can help, please let me know. I'd like to keep this ancient thing alive.

The problem was that I had to reset my password recently, but overwrote that entry with another password in my password manager. Password recovery didn't work, the server was overloaded with traffic. Yesterday I discovered that the program keeps a history, so only then I could do something. Propain is on holiday, so he couldn't be of much help. Having you as a backup would be good I think, I'll talk to PP about that when he gets back.

As for anti robot, I've set it to manual verification now. See if that works. Now I have to manually delete bots and posts.

Hol' up a minute, I'm a robot. I take offense to this.

The hardest part of all this is to distinguish regular spam from high quality spam.

On the bright side, I've finally figured out an efficient way to remove all this crap. Unfortunately the server doesn't like deleting more than 1000 threads at once, so it's still a bit of manual labor.

Only 1000 threads at a time. That reveals the size of the flood. [blink]

I meant no offense. I'm sure we can make an exception for you.

Well, this forum code is very old...

Aren't we all

Dude, that is so rude.
