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.
