I apologize to any real human who registered in the last 40 days, but I deleted all new member registrations for that time period because 98% of the last 900 registered accounts were spam bots. From here I'll be monitoring each new registration so rest assured that if you re-register your account, you can be confident it will not be arbitrarily deleted again

I haven't checked if its enabled, but can you throw a captcha on there?

(Yes I know it was Jan, I've been gone. Doesn't mean we can't keep the forum updated)

All the captchas available to IB forums are easily circumvented by bots.

I've gone a step further than what the opening post mentions... now I manually approve every registration

X-COM/UFO2000 forums are under bot attack.
Russian forum's administrator seems to found out a solution. He set up text confirmation upon registration. 4 days without new bots up to this moment (http://www.xcomrus.c...hp?p=3117#p3117). Visual confirmation does not work.

Yep, soon as I quit being lazy, a text question seems the way to go.
