Topic: A Note About Spam

The board software will be updated in the near future, and hopefully that'll cut down on the spam. You'll need to answer a ridiculously easy security question when posting (we're not doing "CAPCHAS!") to weed out the spambots, but that should cut down on the crud that pop up every day.

Sounds good to me!

Out of curiosity, why not do "CAPCHAS!"?

I've found the questions amusing. Thanks for personalizing them to the site!

Hey!  I thought you were going to be deep in the wilderness at a remote, isolated cabin with no internet access until the 26th?

Thinking about adding "Parasites" to the "Hazards" section when you put out the next edition of LotFPWFRPG?

(And, hey, parasites brings us back to the topic of spam!)
