Finally
I may have finally beat the BOTS. Maybe now I can put registrations back to normal. A BOT is an automated script that allows spam bots to register to the forum. It's a PITA having to click on hundreds of emails a day either confirming or deleting a new registration.
Competition is fierce on the internet too, one of my competitors was not happy when I got on up on him so he wrote a script to spam all my sites. It makes me wonder how these people function in real life.

Re: Finally
PITA for sure.
Just curious.... How do you know one from the other? How do you know a bot registration from a real one?

Re: Finally
BOTs usually use random letters and numbers, sometimes they will use a name and I have to check the email address to be sure. It's not foolproof though. I have missed a couple that were real.

Re: Finally
I also got the forum viewable to guests now, seems there was a hack that took over the feature.
