New User Registrations are blocked

Joe · 04-08-2018, 10:30 PM

Hey folks - since this website is largely an archive at this point, I have disabled new user registrations via a question that requires a code to generate a new account. This should stop the integrity of the forums from being damaged by spam bots to any great extent.

If you want a user account for the forum, please email me: Joe @ the domain of this site. Keep in mind I VERY rarely check that account, so it may take a bit at times.

This should be seen as a formal declaration that this website is firmly on ice and being kept online as a repository for past info and the hard work the community, the staff, and I did in the early/mid 2000's in the emerging pc cooling hobby/industry back then.

sounds good ben!

Joe, where are you?

I've been on the PC a lot, every day. If you want to re-open registrations id be happy to help as a spam-defender.

I could. I am in the process of moving the web server in the coming days. I'll see about opening stuff up after!

Ben, I opened up the registration again with an easy to figure out password. If people can login then awesome.

I just moved the server out to an Azure instance as well today, that should give it some better uptime.
