So that's an update since March's post of yours?

The site has now been set to accept new members only by invite. So if you'd like to join, send me a PM.

Unfortunately we had to disable the auto-membership system, because the site's automated program was letting in far too many spambots :(
 


Yes, I guess so. Ictus re-instated the automated acceptance system, principally to allow new members to join easily.. but I believe the number of actual new members since has been *about* 10, of which 3-4 are active... compared to the 40-50 spam bots I'm having to reject  each DAY because it's not been set to reject automatically after 14 days BUT accept them after 14 days.  I'll have another look at trying to change it... but I think it's an owner thing, and I'm not the administrator/owner, only a minion.  :(

Thanks for the update. Will prod newbies to use the standard method.

Too bad... I cannot stand Facebook.  It is the most evil thing to ever happen...  And then setting off all those other evil social media horse hoowhee...

I suspect in the grand scheme of things, there may have been greater evils.

Uhh...  NO!  There is only one thing more evil than social media.  However, I cannot say what it is...  (forum rules)

Grinnen, going to PM you over at RRP.

Firefox considers the site insecure.

If a site has no secure socket connections it can cause lots of problems. ie shows as HTTPs vs HTTP.
