SUMMARY: I've made some changes, please let me know if the board becomes slower or if anything seems less usable.
DETAIL:
Due to increasing spam activity, I recently changed the new account registration from self-activation (reply to the email) to requiring my approval for each new account. This has stopped the spammers from getting through, but now they are trying to register 10 new accounts per day. This makes it time consuming for me to look at each new request and identify the IP address as belonging to a spammer or not. In order to combat this, I've added some anti-spambot measures that may impact how fast the board responds to your requests. It will probably not be a noticeable change as we are a rather small user base, but I thought I'd put it out for feedback.
Regards and stay cool!
