Spam problem

[Alirrin]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am checking in every day to delete the spam and ban the spammers. 

I am assuming that we've hit a point where the security this forum software has is no longer sufficient to stop the latest generation of spam bots.  As of now, it is still workable - it's no more than one or two at a time, and I can delete them as they arrive.  If the pace picks up significantly, we may have to investigate alternatives.

We have had this forum for over a dozen years now, so that the spam is just now getting in is actually pretty amazing. ;-)

Also, in thanks I owe you a 

Or other beverage of your choice. Please collect soonest.

It really isn't that bad right now. As you said, only a couple at a time. I would like to keep the Saga home going. Who knows what will happen if long lost members come back to find the lights out and the place closed down?

[Alirrin]

Oh, I for one never intend to let the lights go out.  But if the spam becomes a serious problem, it might require installing new forum software, and doing what we can to preserve our favorite bits of history from the in-character stories and family chat.  We had to do it once before, when we first started on this specific software.

But that's for future us to worry about.

I nominate, um, Talon, to do it.
In the future, of course.

[Jasyn]

I get it.  For Talon, the future is now.

Your votes of confidence in future me are greatly appreciated.

Shhh, Jasyn, they'll expect me to do it right away!
