Almost sounds like the smart thing to do would be to rewrite the site with customized (and therefore non-bot-hackable) software -- if we can manage to find some decent programmers around, somewhere ....

The other day I had trouble logging in after the remember me cookie expired. I ended up using Forgot Your Password because it wasn't taking my password. Of course I might just have been using the wrong one but I don't think so. Other than that I have had no problems with the site in a long time.

Exactly why the current forum has a require Javascript and cookie thing for registration that I wrote.

Have you ever looked at the phpbb code? All we need is a bunch of assembly language programmers working on it....
In a totally unrelated event I've invented a new programming term "the event horizon of obfuscation".

1) The forum RSS feed to work properly... choosable with forums, etc.

2) I want an option to download the entire knowledge of the top 10 posters into my head via RS232. :)

I agree...
I may not be in top ten, but it's close... #16 to be exact.

Woo # 22!

I like the site like it is, if we could keep the mtDark theme that would be awesome.
