New Anti-Spam Measures

We've just added a couple of new custom profile options to user accounts in an attempt to curb the amount of spambots that are signing up. It's a method suggested by phpBB themselves and basically involves filling out a couple of required fields when you register an account. It won't stop any spambots that have already registered, but we will take care of them as they reveal themself and hopefully the new measures will stop new ones from signing up from now on...or at least until we up the protection again.

The new profile fields will not show up on your public profiles and will only be displayed during registration and while editing your profile. Please note that the first time you edit your profile following the addition of these new fields, you will be required to fill out the anti-spam fields before saving your changes (otherwise it will not let you proceed). Once you've done this however, you won't have to do it again (unless you go ahead and change the anti-spam fields) so you can just ignore those fields and everything will work as normal.
