Work faster, or I might get 1 or 2 through.

8183?
Crikey how did FSN find the time to create so many accounts?
There's a spammer in the works.

The number of spambots that seem to have been coming through in the last few weeks is phenomenal. >:(
It doesn't seem that long ago that there were 4, 5 or six a day...(at most)...There now seem to be anything up to 40 !
And why they use such ridiculous randomly generated monikers is beyond me.....Even yours truly can tell
those are fakes.

Yeah, I need to have a chat with Matt about that and see if we can put some extra checks in place for new members. I think we should be able to add a check question, so something like 'What scale are Pendraken miniatures?' with 10mm, 75.2mm and 195mm as the answers, or something like that...!
Ohh I know the answer to that one!!!
Well we all know that it is 75.2 but wouldn't intelligent bots have the same information?

How about
The Pendraken Forum is:
a) The answer to all my problems
b) The last refuge of a scoundrel
c) A wretched hive of scum and villainy
d) This is a trick question isn't it?

does 1/144 equals 10mm ? :-\
There or there abouts me thinks.
IanS
1/144 (or 1/150 or 1/160) is approx 10mm scale and 140 is the max number of characters in a Tweet so 144 seemed appropriate for a jokey post..
