Cleaning up the Forums

I'm not sure why the Verbots Forums have been under spamming attack lately, perhaps its the forum software we use or the popularity of the site but its become increasingly annoying to the regular users and myself. Then again, perhaps there aren't a lot of active forum users because only one person mentioned the problem. Regardless, I cleaned up the forums.

This isn't the first time I've bulk deleted users (and that seems to be the solution that I most prefer) who were spamming the forums so I disabled new user registration to cut down on the fake traffic. If you want an account please make a comment here (I'll delete the comment once your account is created) just so we can reduce the amount of potential spamming. Prior to disabling new user registration the site looked like it had some anti-bot protections but I guess it wasn't enough.

I hope this doesn't inconvenience too many people.

Also: the Verbots.com homepage download link has been updated so it doesn't refer to CNET. I think CNET broke or lost the latest Verbots5 software when they switched download methods. Let me know if something else on the site needs fixing.
