    Don't reply to strange threads here.

    Ad bots are going nuts. We're working on it. Don't reply to anything posted here that's obviously not someone's literary work. It just makes things harder for us and your post will get deleted anyway.

    Edit: They're going to other forums sometimes, but it's mainly here for whatever reason.

                          If anyone has any ideas, we're open for them.

                          We can't turn e-mail verification on because it alienates too many legitimate users. Image captcha isn't working for us.

                              Honestly fixing image captcha would be the best thing to do. Considering how modified this forum is though I have no idea how much code you would have to dive into.

                                      lol here comes another wave.

                                      this time they're trying to give a "secret" link of "FFR admin pictures"
                                      which leads to pr0n.

                                                  It has, but usually when very few are up. And it's usually about shoes.

                                                      You could add a stupid random question. Something along the line of a simple random addition like rand(1,10)+rand(1,10). It complicates the registration process for bots, but it is easy to answer for a human.
