Yeah I got asked how to join (from a global member) and sent Homeless a pm this morning. I looked at our forum as if a newbie and couldn't find where or how to create a new account or even email the admin.
Just a minor glitch, I'm sure it will be sorted soon. [Image Can Not Be Found]

I turned off registrations because nothing was being done about spammers signing up. Who even owns this site now? As in who has access to the actual domain/hosting to be able to do something about it?

Here's an example of the spammers that were on the site that had to be deleted. (excuse the diablo part. dual monitor and no photo editing software)

I didn't post its run by 3 homeless guinea pigs cos only a silly person would think that and I'd hate everyone knowing that I thought of that as I'd look silly.

OK, registrations are back online. Have fun sifting through spam until whoever owns this place does something about it.

Depends on where in Aust you plan to move to...

Why is there so many spammers???
Is it because of outdated software or something else???

It's because the user signup process doesn't have a "Captcha" system. That's those randomly generated images of letters and numbers that you have to decipher and enter. It's to prove you're a real person and not just a computer creating fake accounts.

It's very simple to add, and will solve most of the spammer problems.
