It looks like the poster of the latest spam message just signed up today, so there is still a hole that is letting them through.Vonz90 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 3:27 pmYepNetpackrat wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:07 amRight, but there has to still be some setting not enabled that was keeping them from registering at the old host. Or is it just that they were able to register a shitload of new users before Bobby got the setting changed back, and we're now seeing those accounts being used? If the latter, then not sure what you can do other than what you are currently doing, besides maybe nuking all new accounts registered since the move.
If the former, then it needs to be addressed or we might as well shut it down. Last thing I want to do is bitch about how the free ice cream is provided, especially given the amount of work you guys have been putting in keeping it going lately, but the forum can't sustain this amount of spam compared to how little actual traffic we get for long before we have no legit users left who are willing to wade past it.

I think that's how it used to be before the move.
