New spam controls, guest posting enabled.

A new spam control mod has been installed, and guest posting is being enabled as an experiment. At this point, guests and new users are prevented from posting URLs and web links.

Yes, we're still around.

In response to a recent rash of guest spam, guests are no longer allowed to start new topics on the Game subforums.
I wish the spammers would get a clue and figure out they're not getting past our moderation.

We had a forum upgrade this week. Good news is the forum runs a lot faster. Bad news is a line of defense we had against spammers got bulldozed. Until it gets back in order guest posts are pretty much locked.
