I just want us all to remember that one time the board was invaded by a frisky spambot who wouldn't take no for an answer:

Because it was today, holy hell, will you look at that. I loved this one in particular because it was clearly just a bot that amalgamates particular words into sentence-like structures that are likely to get past spam filters instead of anything that resembles a coherent thought:
Communicate on your partner to guide you youngster, as an alternative for fighting jointly. The cool thing is that you have totally different hints regarding what to enjoy in certain situations, that being said expect to steal and always want qualified professional consultation services to be able to any medical preferences for one's youngster. With cooperating, do not forget - you might be presenting your child one of the best business opportunities. Make sure you collection different effort weekly to go on together, especially if one particular mum and dad or the various other might be the key caregiver.
Technology everybody!

Who are the 10+ guests on the active user list? Are they robots, monitoring our behaviour before they kill us and take over our accounts one by one? Is jetemkraie their prototype?

Haha, I almost forgot about how spambots like to try and invade message boards every how and again.

This is getting to be a problem, I've deleted a few of these over the past couple of days and I assume I'm not the only one. How do you change the verification question? I think we need something a bit more complex than simple arithmetic.

Yeah, the mod log is getting a bit crowded. We at least need to chance the verification, but I don't have access to it.

Do these boards have one of those CAPTCHA options? (you know, typing in the series of garbled letters in a static-y picture)

CAPTCHAs are pretty much worthless, especially phpBB's which were compromised years ago. I change the arithmetic problem every once in a while whenever it seems like the bots figure it out. I guess GG! also figured out how to change the CAPTCHA into something slightly more useful, so hopefully the combination of that and the math problem will be effective for a while.

I deactivated and deleted all the spam accounts.

I know this isn't technically spambot-specific, but it is a technical query: is anyone else suddenly getting odd redirects to suspicious websites when trying to browse this place? I'm hoping it's not just me...

Yeah, that happened to me, too. Sadly I have no idea what to do about it.

Err. I haven't seen that at all. Can you screenshot something or provide an example?

I had the same experience a couple days ago. At the time, I assumed something had infected my machine. I'll try and screenshot/capture the URL if it happens again.

Wow. They masquerade sites to look like YouTube now? That's awesome.

I guess that's what you get for still using the shipwreck known as Internet Explorer.

Personally, I only accept the finest internet browsing experience offered by the Safari web browser on the superior Apple Macintosh Operating System X Version 10.7.3 "Lion".

I used to do that too until I found a cookie monster skin for Firefox. Now my computer stares back at me!

Isn't that distracting when you're trying to view porn art films?

Just out of curiosity (and not because I wanted to see Emma Watson's secret home video) I fired up IE and I also got redirected. Under Firefox nothing happens. Also, instead of seeing any celebrity porn art films, my browser just locked up instead.

Thanks for the info. I will probably do a clean install to the newest version of phpBB when I have time.

to enjoy the new, clean, (hopefully) exploit-free phpbb upgrade.

Hey, our avatars are still on the same side of the screen. I'd say this is an improvement.

So... anything else of note, aside from less obtuse ads?
