So, because of the forum upgrade there are better CAPTCHA options. As such I am switching over to an Email Activation system for the time being. If this doesn't work I will switch it back to the old way.
I sent out an email to all accounts waiting for activation stating that I was clearing out the queue and that they would have to reregister.
I also went through the list yesterday and banned a lot of funky email address types so hopefully we shouldn't have any more spambots to worry about.
If this all works here then I will switch the other forums and FETO to email activation and switch the forums over there to all archives so nobody can post.
