Me too. Disposed of its PMs sent to me.
offtopic: I still get ads even as a user (is it just me, or is it already activated to all users?). --------------------  "Not in mood...go away..." "We are going to have to act, if we want to live in a different world." Bringing wrath to a forum near you since 2009! |

This post has been edited by ComeOn225: 18 Jan 2010, 16:21 -------------------- Hello, comrades.
Before I start, I must ask one question: how do you think battles are won? If you answered "It just take a lot of men", then I may suggest you to leave the academy. Why will I say that? It is because battles are not won just by simply shooting down your enemies: it also takes emotions to fight a battle. Hope, courage, pride, honor, love: these are the main emotions that it takes to win a battle. Yes, your equipment, your skills, and your genetics are very important, but it all boils down to one thing: Do you have the WILL to fight? Class is dismissed. WARNING: Watching this may result in losing your manliness. Yep: I'm a rusty sword. VERY rusty. :/ |

Damn, there's another one. Looks like the bots are getting more clever and learning lessons after their failed attempts. I hope the security here is not compromised though.

This is a virus invasion. Do not click on any link. Links and attachments should no longer be allowed on PMs. To much trojans. Be prepared for a email wave.

Umm, guys, you might want to switch to an Admin account approval system because we've had major amounts of bots come up to FS and it seems to have found its way to SWR now.

This gets quite bothersome is is not? Afaik the system here to be allowed to use the forum consists of admin approval. Other sites use the eMail approval. Why not use both? It might help.

Well the forum has been operating publically for ~230 days, and there's 557 members. 557/230 is around 2.5/day which isn't that much of a hassle.
