Guys - as a short term measure I've changed new registrations so that they require admin approval. This should hopefully put a stop to all spam for now. We're going to give the forums some fresh attention once our relaunch is all up and running, this Thursday Oct 29.

Well, I have been doing thangs... but then Ballad of Gay Tony turned up today, so now all I'll be doing is playing that.

Sorry guys.

I can vouch for the fact that Adam is doin' thangs.

Nah, he doesn't do anything.

He's been doing a whole lot of shit, just not in the public eye. A week and a bit to go.

Such technical matters are above my ken, but this may be of use to the bossman. Cheers, Joe.

As administrator of the-magicbox.com, I can assure you that most spammers are automated bots. The way I deal with them is threefold:

1. - Create a question and answer for the registration process. My question is: "Do you agree to fill out the 'favorite games' section of your profile after confirming your account via e-mail?" The only proper answer is 'yes". If they do not answer or answer something else, their registration is denied.

2. - All new members are approved by me before they can post. They go into a special cue set up just for that which I check a few times a day. If the "favorite games" section of their profile doesn't have anything in it (I don't care if it is one game or a hundred), then I delete them. Otherwise I approve them and they are free to post. Also, the forum names must be somewhat comprehensible. I wouldn't confirm a member with a name like Xiaobonnie or the like.

3. - The new member's first post cannot be a new thread.

Haven't had a spam post in a loooooooong time. We use vBulletin forum software.

You need to leave this quote with the spammers as you lower the banhammer:

“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you".

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Banhammer.

Wow, feel the power! Maybe too much power for one man to have? :D

Won't matter then how many spammer accounts there are, as soon as a blatent spam thread gets created the banhammer will do what it was destined to do.

Removed some spam. Posted by a staggering 23 different spammer accounts. No idea if this is automated or being done manually for god knows what reason.

Adam must know Hugh Hefner - get him to set you up.

Sure, but perhaps not with you as the star. Not that I'm doubting your pornstar potential, just sayin..

Re:Kikizo and the future (Edwin)

All joking aside, it would make absolutely perfect financial sense to make a porn site. Doesn't mean we'll do it, but the numbers would add up. You gaming diehards love your T&A :)

Wow, Kikizo really will be going in a new direction. When you said there would be more videos I never imagined that. More of a niche demographic I'd say though rather than diversifying within your current audience.

I suppose Agent seems to be vouching for you. :D

Well I'd say it's a toss-up between Fuck The Infidels and Edwin's Pleasure Hub. Or perhaps they could be combined.

EdwinFucksTheInfidels.com

Jesus God, it's beautiful. Go reserve the domain name sharpish, Agent, while I phone a few stripclubs. We'll do a pilot video feature worthy of Dirk Diggler himself.
