In an effort to get rid of spam accounts signing up, and therefore flooding our emails with "New member" emails, Blaze added a SMF plugin for reCAPTCHA. I personally like reCAPTCHA, it's the only CAPTCHA that I really like.
If you know anybody who's having issues signing up, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I had to hardcode reCAPTCHA's ip in my firewall to make it work, which may not be the best way to do it.
I disabled the "require administrator approval" setting, since we haven't had any spambots sign up since we changed to reCAPTCHA. But a note to moderators -- be sure to keep an eye out.
x86labs is serious business.
We were getting 10+ registrations/day from spammers. x86 itself may not be serious business, as you've implied, but you can't just run a forum and leave it alone anymore. The assholes will make a mess.

When I read this I felt that there was underlying meaning to it.. possible aimed at trust.
But then again, I am stoned so eh..

Heh, nope. I was legitimately referring to spambots. :P
Spambots are a threat. They are potentially a replacement for trolls.
It's like when machines become self aware.
or when trolls become aware that what they do requires no cleverness and can be completely automated.

real math requires more creativeness than it does calculation.
calculators don't prove theorems.

No, this thread is about pie now. Discuss.
