Forum updated

I've updated the forum to the latest version of phpBB. We are also now running the latest version of PHP. I did this in part to improve the antispam measures. Looks like the design has broken a bit, but I guess it hasn't broken enough for me to bother to fix it, we are at zero content posts in the ...

Spam account cleanup

After updating phpBB I didn't notice that a setting was reset: there was no longer any account activation requirement. This led to some spambotter noticing this on July 25th and starting an attack on the forum. I've now fixed this issue, removed and banned all the newly created spam accounts and all ...

Still keeping it up

Yup. Still here. Ran updates. Back to default phpBB3 style though as the old design broke after the updates.

Re: We are now on phpBB3

I'll try to look into these smaller issues soon; right now I'm actually quite busy as I'm moving to a new apartment in two days :)

But I think I solved the fan club text requirement in a clever way.

Re: We are now on phpBB3

And now I removed the latest horde of spambot accounts. Some 250 had managed to register within the past six months.

We are now on phpBB3

Didn't want to continue using MyBB's 1.8 branch. So now we're back on phpBB. This time with phpBB3. Looks like they have a responsive design so now things work on mobile phones more or less poorly.
