HOW TO JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holiday:
On the main page, there has been for some time now a notice about how to register for APF. I do the registrations manually because of those little fucking spambots. I hate spam, and I hate bots. So when you put the two together I want to lurch on them even more.
Anyway, if you refer anyone to us and recommend they register, they need to send me an email at apfholiday at gmail dot com with the username they want. I register them, the system sends them an email asking that they activate the account, and at that time they set their own password.
I hope this helps those who haven't seen this notice on the main forum page.

I turned on registration for 24 hours, and about 80 fucking spambots registered. I rejected them all of course, but for each one that registered, Thierry somehow got an email, and I think that's pretty damned funny.
Needless to say, self-registration has been disabled once again. You have to email me to register.

>> Are running the most up-to-date version (you are not, current version is 2.04)
>> Could turn on the double opt-in feature which requires the registrant to activate their registration: Members/Registration/Settings - choose Email Activation.
>> Testing the register to see if they are human: Get registrant to answer question: Configuration/Security and moderation/Anti-Spam. Set Number of verification questions user must answer OR Install Avatar Registration mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2182

Ok, I'm about a step away from making you a mod, because this shit is all Greek to me.
I'll try to parse what you're saying over the weekend. There definitely has got to be a better way.
