The forum spamfilters seem to be working well :P

A while back I added an extra security-measure to the user registration process in an attempt to fight off the hordes of very clearly UOX3-interested "users" who would constantly register dummy accounts on the forum with suspect looking e-mail addresses and user-details filled with advertisements.
Seems to have worked. Whenever a user-signup fails, a notification is sent off to a very specific e-mail address - which I just now checked for the first time in three years.
The inbox currently has OVER NINE THOUSAND (9176 as I write this post) notification e-mails.
I hope these are all spambots failing to register and not legit users not getting through ^^
Anyway, that was it for Today's Informative Announcement (TM!).
*deletes over 9000 e-mails*
