    Hey all,

    Thanks to Justin, we now have gotten rid of the bots. The news here is that a real person can just register now without any admin approval. Yay.

    it was gone for a while... but people started complaining.

    maybe we should make it autoban if they use it. that might help.

    and we wouldn't have to listen to them complaining, either. since they'd be gone!

    I still don't see the objection to HAWT.... not that I use it that often (I think I have used it once...), but at the same time i don't find it particularly annoying.... d00d on the other hand....

    well first of all, it is the worst spelling you can possible have for the word. i mean sound it out. "H-A-W-T" kinda sounds like a mix of some funky words that sound not cool! like an owl hooting or something? haha i dont know? it is just an ugly word.

    Hawt is not evil. It's like phat or killa or l33t or .... etc. It's just slang.

    we make the site smarter... holds 'em off for a while... they make smarter bots.

    we complain about it for a while, then make the site smarter.

    Why are you tempting fate bobtheemu? Don't you know questions like 'how could it get worse?' are always followed by examples?

  2.  

    the swingutah forum has also been wonderfully absent of bots. I love it.

    Who are these top posters you speak of? And how could anything they say ever be spam?

  6.  

    I'm not really sure, but word on the street is that the #1 poster is a spam bot.

    Be careful associating with him, you don't wanna get infected. Or maybe we do? Then this forum would be a lot more active!

    Whoa, that 6,721 was over the course of several months. Since my post, it's changed significantly:

    "Akismet has caught 9,872 spam for you since you first installed it."
