I was under the impression that those where just confused users of Windows GameMaker.   ::)

I've noticed that, but they're not really out of control, because there is no spam on these forums. ;D

I think I'm gonna add a captcha or something to make registration harder.

As you can see in the Announcements section, I made a bot that takes care of this whenever I run it. I'll run it occasionally when I see there is a flood of users.

Cheers!

so now we have bots fighting bots, its an endless cycle, what'lll you do if they develop more advanced bots that can make posts or even games, eventually the bots will replace us

Added a question on the registration page that is apparently very hard for bots, whether ice is hot or cold. Let's see how long it takes them to crack it. =)

No I know most of the unposted people, except of Charakradude, but I think he is a confused PC GM user.

Ah, glad to see you posting on the GMG Xi! :) Now that you're here, any news on this game you're making?

Yes. I am not very good and coding and tried to make some sprites that are okay. The game will probably not come out for a while! It will be from the point of view of a soldier separated from his main group in a modern day version of HG Wells War of the Worlds.
