Forum Software Update
 
Due to an influx of stupid azn spammers, I have updated the forum software ( from 3.5.4 - 2 years old to 3.7.2) and given some new rights to Ben333 to neutralize them.

The new image verification system is in place to ensure that guests cant screw around needlessly, and bots will have a harder time of registering now.

Thats all for now. Not much else going on. I get married in a month so that sorta rocks.

So the upgrade seems to be working. We went from 20 - 30 new spam bots a day registering to 2 or 3 real legit users registering.

and FAR less spam.

Amazing what that one little patch can do :) I've only banned one user since the vBB update and the spammer joined before the update ;)
