Funny thing is, that one's not a bot.

In all, anti-bot measures are me and KeenRush...nothing is actually installed yet.

how about you guys give this a try?

http://www.matthewleverton.com/howto/ph ... ptcha.html

It requires you to modify code to add the captcha, but it tells you how to do it step by step. And even if you screw up, im sure you made backups. No sql data is edited in anyway, so data wise it's fine.

Im not sure how well phpbb's built in captcha is working (assuming you have it enabled, doesn't seem to work?), but this may be worth a try.

If you don't like it, it's easily removable.

New PCKF, what a surprise!

In one way, I'm a bit sad to see the old ezBoard go. Sure, it didn't work, and occasionally lost all of the posts, but it was the keen forum that I first joined.

On the other hand, this nice new shiny forum looks to be much better, plus my postcount isn't so rediculously outnumbered. I look forward to all of the happy keening experiences that we can all share.

(Yes, I've been lurking for the past few years, but I think that this change in forum can (and hopefully will) spark new light into the keen community)

I wasn't sure what the effects of moving forums would be, but it seems to have changed rather little. In fact, I'm seeing a lot more new people since the move. Or maybe it's just me, I dunno.

It seems it has increased the activity a lot, I think. Perhaps I was wrong and it indeed had bigger effect than I expected. :freud

Nice to see you around Multimania, and glad to hear you've been lurking around. :yorp Did you ever even join the old PCKF? I can't remember! Been working on those mods of yours?

MULTIMANIA! I was looking for you back in like February, 'cause I was trying to add a couple of features to CKPatch, and I knew you had made KDRPatch, so so you had compiled it. I think there's a thread over at K:M called "Compiling CKPatch" or something else equally clear.

It does kind of seem like the activity has increased a bit, actually. :)

That will be only a temporary side effect.
