Unfortunately its not really a matter of what people want, there are literally tens of millions of spam bots out there that hit up any website that has registration and uses a programmatic macro to register, then logs into the site and creates spam advertising things like viagra, cialis or some porno site.
There are companies in many countries devoted to doing this as a way to 'advertise' their website and get people to click.
So more than likely, there is no human being sitting at the controls for the few hundred sign ups I get a day.
Fixing the issue probably wouldnt be impossible, but for some reason, however holy diver installed this first forum, he did so in a way that upgrading the 'CAPTCHA' protocols for registration are not working for me, so I just need to spend the time to dig into it and get it working correctly so there is proper security on registration to help block these automatic programs out there.
the fix will come by next week im sure.
