Because of the activities of the spam-bots, we are soon going to be purging all members that have not posted at least once. Please post an updated message to let us know you are out there and alive. I will update this message with a date as soon as one is set. Thank you to the supporters of Devil Whiskey out there. Great to see you back!

So When are these spambotties going to be removed? Hopefully soon. It'd be nice to have just the actual REAL People here and these Imposters taken out back and beaten down to a pulp. Or into submission. Whichever comes first.

Yeah, butt...what if that's exactly what those spam-bottie (knot-so-hotties) imposters Want?!?
Hmm, in That case (or either way) I say we do that--take'm out backwards & beat them down to their constituent components.. sorta a reverse of 'item creation'!

Well I am going through the "requests" to be added to the forums and 99 out of 100 requests are being deleted for those reasons. If you know of any that are on here and posting (i'm checking now for new posts) then send me a PM and I'll check them out.
Thanks for your support

Or we could stuff them in a blender and make spamshakes!

Is there a way to set the settings of the phpbb so that any new "requests" have to also type a random word as well so to not even have spambots be able to create an account at all?

All the new spammy users now get their heads squashed by an electronic automated flying spiked mace. Then their remains get sucked up by a giant vacuum cleaner.

Oh that's just great, Meanwhile!
Now we have to worry about spambotties hacking into the system to get the automated flying spiked mace to smash up the gigantic vacuum cleaner. Nice going!
