ACCOUNT REGISTRATION - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Posted: 07 Feb 2025, 15:21
Just recently, the forum has become inundated with Russian bots trying to sign up. For a while, I was only getting seven or eight a day, but today I logged in to find 158 waiting for me!
The spambot countermeasures I've been using aren't working, as bots are now sophisticated enough to bypass them. I have therefore taken the decision to disable ALL new account registrations to the forum, to save me having to check each possible account to see if it might be genuine.
If you are reading this and you want to become a member of the forum, you will have to do so manually by sending an email to the following email address: tc-signup@outlook.com. I will then give you instructions on how to register.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but this place isn't my full-time job, and wading through hundreds of registrations to find genuine ones is not at the top of my priority list.
Thanks.
