We're being inundated with bogus account signups from spammers. I'm filtering out as many as I can but short of stopping all signups some of them are going to get through. Please bear with us if you see increased spam, and use the report to moderator button. Thanks!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

He looks like he's just battling to stay upright because of the weight of that huge head.

I have same problem on my own SME forum, and it happens on all 1.1.X versions.

The default Visual Verification is completly unsecure and does not stop at all and it even show the same letters for a new request for some reason (why does they not change?)

On my forum I added a extra puzzle anitobot measure for hope to stop this registreing attack as well.
