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!

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.
